Rejected petition Create a National Public Transport Card / App - Like London's Oyster Cards.
Create a unified App or Transport card for use on all public transport throughout the UK. This should function like London's Oyster Card , where its a simple tap or scan that allows easy use of all busses, trains, trams, etc across the UK, regardless of the company running it.
More details
It will improve the public transport system by making it far more Accessable, Quicker, and more efficient for both riders and those running the services. This would be especially useful for riders who currently have to take multiple forms of public transport, or buy tickets from multiple bus companies to commute to a location.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a decision for individual operators and providers.
We could accept a petition calling for all public transport to be required to accept contactless payments, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
