Remove the time of travel restrictions on disabled and older person's bus passes

Closed 87 signatures

What the petition asks

There are many disabled and older people in this country who still have to work to support themselves. However, because the concessionary bus pass is not usable before 9.30am on weekdays they cannot sue this to get to work. We believe this is unfair, and the time restrictions should be scrapped.
Because a lot of disabled and older people still work but are currently unable to use their concessionary bus pass for travel to work, because of the time restrictions on this.
