This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Public transport in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is devolved. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

You could start a new petition about something the UK Government are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government to work with the devolved assemblies and Governments to create UK-wide free or subsidised travel for over-60s.
