Free/cheaper public transport for children under 18

Make public transport free/cheaper for children under 18

Why is this important?

We are asking for all children under 18 years of age to be given free transport at the very least for school journeys.

• Some children cannot afford bus/tram fare – walking could lead to crimes
• Walking home is not an option; children live too far from their school; also winter is approaching
Public transport is safer, there are many people; which also reduces crime rate on public transport
