Allow disabled bus pass use at any time, not just after the morning rush hour

What the petition asks
Stop the ban on disabled bus pass use before 9/9:30am
The government wants to get more people back to work but we're unable to use our disabled bus pass to get there. Lots of disabled people are able to work some jobs but most work places need you to start at 9am. Not allowing use of the bus pass on a morning is putting an extra barrier in place where most people have no other option of travel like walking/cycling to a workplace.
