What the petition asks
Studying in full time education can cost families a sufficient amount of money each year on transport to school and recreational activities which they may not have. This can cost families and students thousands of pounds every year which they can spend on other costs in the household like books.
For a bus ticket from Seaton to Exeter it costs a student £10 for a return trip which the money can be used for a text book from school.Therefore the government should subsidie public transport for students in full time education.
