Give students free bus travel
When you reach age 60, you qualify for free bus travel. Students aren’t often paid and have to pay for bus travel using parents or their savings. I think if people over 60 are able to get free bus travel, people of student age should be able to as well.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Bus fares are not set by the UK Government. Local bus operators (bus companies) are free to set their own fares. However, local transport authorities (usually local councils) have the power to set maximum fares in some circumstances.
If you would like bus fares in your local area to be lower, you could raise this with your local council. You can find out who your local councillor is here:

If you want the Government to fund free travel on public transport for students, you may wish to sign this petition instead: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/219358
