This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Keep under 18 travel free during school hours.
Do not suspend free travel during school hours ,as this will affect thousands of hardworking students and their family’s daily lives.
More details
By removing free travel, many families will struggle to afford to send their children to school; which could put their vital education at risk. School is already a struggle for many families, as buying school textbooks, uniform, paying for lunch and trips is already a burden upon them. Therefore, by adding on a new expense for families to worry about, this defeats the concept of free education for all!
