Rejected petition Make public transport free for all under-18s
Rejected on
We want the Government to introduce completely free public transport for all under 18s at all hours.
Public transport costs are a big problem for children and their families. The high fares are acting as a barrier for young people attending school, college and higher education. It can also affect young adults socially and in accessing part time work.
