Petition Action

A subsidised adult train fare for 16-18 year olds

Petition Details

Most teens are not in a full-time job so therefore are unable to pay the extortionate train fares which is unjust especially if this is the only mode of transport to and from an education site.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. That's because there's already a student travel card, which gives a third off rail fares. You can find out more here:

And local councils also provide subsidised concessionary fares for young people, to help with the costs of travel to and from sixth form or college. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
