Fund free bus travel for children during all school holidays

Fund free bus travel for children during all school holidays — 16 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want the Government to provide funding to expand the free bus travel scheme for children to cover every school holiday break, rather than just the month of August.

Additional details

While the initiative providing free August bus travel for under-16s has given families a vital cost-of-living boost, household financial pressures do not stop when summer ends. Families can face intense financial strain during the October half-term, Christmas, Easter, and spring breaks. Extending free bus travel to all school holidays could permanently reduce family outgoings, lower traffic congestion, improve safety, and encourage long-term sustainable travel habits among young people.
