Rejected petition Make it so people under 18 still count as a child for public transport fares.

it is a legal requirement to stay in education until you’re 18 yet at 16 you’re expected to pay adult public transport fares. Even if the Child does have a job it is very likely to be payed minimum wage of £4.20. The child to adult prices double and yet the minimum wage stays the same.
