This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Aged-based transport fares are not set by the UK Government. For buses, local bus companies are free to set their own fares. For trains, the fares are set by train operating companies.

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require all transport operators to offer child fares for anyone under 18.
