Cheaper bus fares for young people

Additional Information

This e-petition calls on the UK Government to take action on the concerns of young people about expensive bus fares and listen to the British Youth Council’s and UK Youth Parliament’s campaigning on this issue.


Young people across the UK currently face a postcode lottery of expensive bus fares – some receive concessionary fares and get child fares until they are 16, but many don’t. On top of this, many existing concessionary schemes for young people are being cut as a result of cuts to local authority budgets for transport.


We need the UK Government to work with national bus providers and local authorities to make sure that there are cheaper bus fares for young people, concessionary schemes, and standardised child fares for under 16s.


We need to make sure expensive bus fares don’t affect our ability to get to college or get a job. Our generation can’t afford to miss out on opportunities because bus fares are too expensive.
