Rejected petition NHS staff must be entitled for free travel pass on London underground and buses

I am aware that other government employees such as police officers who protect the public are enjoying the benefit of the free travel pass. As a NHS employees, it would be beneficial and a big help if we can be considered to be part of the said privilege.

More details

I believe that as a government employees/worker we are also entitled to such benefit. And as a democratic country, we are expected to receive the equality of employment in every way.
