Public transport to school should be free (under 18s)

Students should have an ID card, eligible in all of the UK, that allows them to take any train, bus or tube from Monday-Friday for free because no one should pay for education.

Why is this important?

I'm a student who has to take 3 trains a day to get to school and another 3 back, this costs me £12 a day, just for one day of education. This adds up and is a significant financial burden on my family. No child should have to pay to get to school, especially at these extortionate prices. Some children I know, spend upwards of 500 pounds for a bus pass that last a single year. This money would be better spent towards necessities or extracurriculars to help develop a child's skill set.
