Lower Bus Fares for full-time students free, or cheaper

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Lower the bus fares across the country for full-time students to allow for easy/easier access to travel and commuting

Many students aren't in work, due to full time school-work and studying and are charged adult prices for many bus fares or other travel fees either to school, or just for travel purposes, which many students can struggle to fund on a regular basis, which can be necessary travel for many.
