What the petition asks
Give 50% discount on Transport for London fares for each NHS worker who will apply.
NHS Workers deserves better, during pandemic most of them did not have a chance to choose a way of working from home, they have been travelling to work and paying full amount of fares, while others could stay home and save money on travelling. Police Officers have access for free public transport, now it is a time where NHS workers should have at least 50% discount on public transport.
