Fund lower train fares for all

Closed 60 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to fund lower train fares for all, as I believe this would help reduce carbon emissions, by making public transport a less costly alternative to driving.
If reduced train fares lead to increased passenger numbers this could even make the train network more profitable, which could enable train operators to increase pay for staff and hopefully reduce strikes.
