Lower bus fares in medway, and provide children with free summer travel
Subsidies bus companies in medway to provide children with easier school travel, and people with cheaper travel in general; provide youths with free travel during the summer in medway as with the rest of kent
The current cost of living crisis has made life hard for manu people, and for some who might be reliant on public transport, the rising bus fares over the country including medway havr made life difficult. Moreover, 16-18 year olds being charged adult prices is unfair, as they have a lower minimum wage and fewer current qualifications
