Make London transport cheaper for under 25s

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

As a 22 year old student, living in London, the extortionate cost of train and tube transport has a big impact on my financial stability. Even after buying a 16-25 railcard, which can only be used at off peak times (what job allows you to be at the office at 10am!?), the cost is outrageous.

I am sure many people can agree that lowering the cost of public transport in London will positively improve the livelihood of young people throughout the UK. We are at an age of having to find internships and work or attend University and we should really be given a break instead of constantly having to worry about rising housing and transport prices. Please sign and share my petition so our voices can be heard.
