Make Bus Travel Free To 16-19 Year Olds.
Make bus travel free to 16-19 year olds that live in rural areas. So they can get to higher education without being at a disadvantage now the government have set the school leaving age to 18.
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.
Alternatively, you could start a new petition asking the Government to provide funding for bus fares for people over 16 in compulsory education.
