This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition travel fares age limits bus/train for children 0-18
More details
The law has changed and children are now expected to remain in school or further education until they reach 18 years of age.
Buses and trains age limits for children is 0-15 years.
At 16 -18 years of age to pay full adult fare when they would not have any income is completely unfair.
The age limits are based on children leaving school at 16 and going into work, where they would fund adult fares, this is no longer the case.
Children fares for both train and buses should now be increased to 0-18 years, to take into account the recent changes to the law.
