The UK Youth Parliament is campaigning for all under 18s in full-time education to be allocated a national concession card to use public transport.Their argument is that it would:
- make buses and trains more accessible to young people
- allow access to leisure facilities
- create a cleaner environment as a consequence of cutting down car use
- create the same freedom that pensioners enjoy, as like pensioners, young people in full time education do not have an income and are reliant on public transport.
If you support it, you can sign their petition at: http://www.ukyp.org.uk/faresfair
You can also watch a YouTube video promoting the campaign.
