Petition Ban public transport peak fares, especially on suburban commuter routes.
The UK is one of the few countries in the world where commuter public transport users suffer a peak fare system, with transport often owned by foreign interests. Commuters are essentially being penalised and profited from unnecessarily as they go to work, often making car usage more attractive.
