Free public transport for secondary school pupils.
This petition is for the government to make public transport free for students. Students who travel to school, pay from £3 to £7 each day. Hence, they spend £585 - £1365 yearly. This money is going towards commuting to school which is a necessity for all students.
If public transport was free for secondary school children, 11-16, it would mean that students would be able to make better choice in what school they want go to without worrying about the cost of travelling. I fear that many vulnerable and low income families will be affected the most. It is a punishment for students with less well off families. The government should take action because it is an unnecessary cost that students pay every day. Boris should end this unfair cost.
