We believe that young people should pay no more than ½ adult fare on buses.

There is currently no consistency in fares for young people across the country, which is unfair, socially excluding and leading to a culture of car dependency.

We want a national maximum fare for all young people aged 18, so that transport is no longer a barrier to our freedom and independence.

> Help us build a map of fair fares!
> Ask your MP to protect buses

> Brakes put on travel plan for youngsters
