This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about transport policy and certain benefits in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are a matter for the devolved administrations, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We can accept petitions calling for changes to the concessionary bus travel scheme for England, and eligibility for benefits for which the UK Government is responsible, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted to be made to eligibility for these things.
