Rejected petition Make bus fares cheaper in the UK

I want a reduction in bus fares across all routes. This reduction will significantly ease the financial burden on daily commuters, particularly for students, low-income families, and elderly citizens who rely on public transport to access jobs, education or essential services.

More details

With the rising cost of living, many families are struggling to make ends meet, and high transportation costs only add to their financial burden. By making bus fares more affordable, we can encourage more residents to choose public transit over personal vehicles, contributing to a reduction in our community's carbon footprint.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Bus fares are already capped. You can find more information about this here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Alternatively, you may wish to sign the petition below calling for a similar action:

Maintain the £3 bus fare cap permanently - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700027
