Rejected petition Make transport free (or cheaper) for students under 18 during school time

Some people cannot afford transportation to their school and parents cannot always drop off or pick up their kids.

More details

Education is a basic right. Everyone should have the opportunity to go to their dream school/college. This would ensure that all children have the ability to get to school and learn. Parents cannot always be there for kids and a safe way to get home can help with peace of mind. Additionally, seniors get cheaper transportation so it's unfair on students.
