This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Responsibility for local public transport is devolved to local councils or Mayors, and national public transport is the responsibility of individual transport operators.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to reimburse NHS staff for travel costs, or to fund local authorities and transport operators to provide free travel to NHS staff.
