Rejected petition Change adult bus fares from 16+ to 18+.

We are students and in our year 11 citizenship class were trying to make a difference in society. We believe this change should be made as in the eyes of the law we’re seen as adults from 18, so why do we have to pay for adult bus fares at 16.
