Allow the NHS staff to travel to and from work free of charge
The travel to and from work on public transport should be made free of charge for all the NHS staff during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In these difficult times of COVID-19 paralysing the whole world, most of us work from home. But the NHS staff still have to go in to provide the crucial support in keeping the pandemic under control, as well as performing their normal duties. They put their and their loved ones’ lives at risk to help others. They deserve to be supported in any way possible. Free travel until further notice will do just that. Let’s make that happen.
