Closed petition Fund free public transport for children

Closed on

Allow all children to travel on public transport for free

I’m a full time working single mum and can't afford basics which impacts mine and my children's health and wellbeing. All outgoings have increased, including my rent in social housing, along with my taxes and all in the same month. The government should support children who have to attend school by law and respect that many parents who are in the same position are trying their very best to provide and just can't do any more than they are already. It needs to be acknowledged as a necessity not a luxury and is causing distress to hard working members of society.
