Closed Fund free public transport free for 18 and under

Closed on

I want the government to fund free public transport for everyone aged 18 and under, to make it easier for youths to get around where they need to go.

I want this to be changed because I have a personal experience of the expenses of public transport in the UK. I live in Newcastle and the charges are ridiculous, over £5 for a 16 year old to travel round Newcastle on a metro to get to college. How are the people who don’t have the greatest amount of money supposed to get around?
