Students in full time education are eligible for free bus passes.
The use of the bus is vital for many families to provide a means of transport for their children to get to school as it relieves undue pressure on the parents and is better for the environment, however the price of catching a bus is very high if used regularly.
Bus journeys in England decreased by 0.6% compared to the previous year, so this would encourage this more environmentally friendly method of travel
By encouraging bus travel would help people who are unemployed have more time to find work as they wouldn't need to work around their children's school life in general
By having more people take the bus this will also eleviate problems of congestion on the bus routes
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:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local authorities are responsible for issuing bus passes to students. You could submit a petition calling on the Government to introduce and fund a national student bus pass.
