Half price bus and train fares for under 18's still in education

Petition Details

Under 18's still in education should have half price bus and train fares as some people are paying as much as £20 a week because they have to stay in education until they're 18

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 half-price fares for anyone under 18 in education.
