This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Fares for school children are the responsibility of local bus companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking Government to fund school travel for school children in rural areas.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
