Make TFL change age related free travel to match national criteria
Make any funding for TFL only granted provided TFL changes the free travel concession so that they only start when the State Pension age is reached.
Demonstrate age equality.
Government funding whilst this concession exists means that the funding is unfarly subsidising free travel.
Because this goes against equality and fairness.
Public money is being wasted effectively paying for this concession.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you're concerned about travel costs and fairness, but we're not sure what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
In any case, the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. Transport is the responsibility of the London Assembly and the Mayor's Office.
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
