Fund college transport

What the petition asks
How can you stipulate that children have to stay on in education until they reach 18 years of age, yet there’s no free transport to get there? There are families that struggle to pay for these things and cannot get around back and fourth to these colleges.
If you want people to be going to college full time then you guys need to help and contribute/ discount towards these ridiculous prices.
I understand that people get child benefit Until they leave full time education, but this money does not cover the costs of the prices to get to some colleges. The amount is unreal. You need to start thinking about this. If you want students in education until they are 18 years of age, you need to start helping out or have free transport.
