Raise the age limit of free bus travels from 18 to 21
In the UK, bus rides are free to anyone under 18. The age should be raised to 21 because , personally, I felt I never used my free travel untill I was 16. Children whom I've talked to also said they don't rest travel much yet university students travel a lot, hence the age should me raised to 21
If the free travel age limit is raised to 21 this would benefit college and university students a lot. This means they have to spend less money which then means less financial difficulties and this lowers the chance for any more additional problems.
Under 16s don't travel as often as college or university students. Furthermore university students are hard at work getting a degree, where will they have time to work in order to pay for their travel. This will imply more stress upon them.

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 that you raise. The price of bus tickets are set by local bus companies.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to fund a student travel discount card, if that's what you want to happen.
