Allow London kids free travel on buses while pending oyster replacement.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I am one of many London children who have lost their oyster. On many occasions i have been threatened by the bus driver to either get off the bus or he will call the police. Drivers should be made to allow all kids free travel in these circumstances and not up to their discretion.
