18+ student oyster card 30% discount should apply on single journey basis.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Mostly students commute to university 3/4 times a week. You can only get discount on 18+ student oyster card if you buy a weekly or monthly pass which works out a lot expensive for many students. TFL should apply discount on every journey basis so they can actually benefit from the offer.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. TfL is accountable to the London Assembly.
