Stop charging children under 18 adult fees on trains, buses, and other transport
When boarding modes of transport within the UK, I and many other people under the age of 18, but older than 16 are paying for an adult fee. Legally we can't buy alcohol or cigarettes until we are classed as an adult. Why are we paying adult fee when I am not being paid adult wage at work?
Why are we expected to pay adult fees, when we aren't treated like adults, can't buy items like adults, or earn adult wage. We take up one seat just like any other person on transport, same as adults taking up the same amount of room as us 'children'. It isn't fair
