Dear Department of Transport,
16+ have to pay adult bus fares but they cannot receive adult wages until the age of 18, also they cannot vote until 18, lower adult wages to 16 or raise adult bus fares to 18.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
Legislation does not specify any age for child fares on
buses as, for most services, fares are set at a commercial level by operators.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
