Why do Transport for London only charge £10 admin and give travel free to children, when Hertfordshire charge £20 admin (for an inferior service) and then charge us half price fares to travel on an also inferior service. Very Poor Show, letting our young people down.

APALLING!!!

]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 04:07:42 UTC 14515912 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14515844?utm_medium=rss These buses especially the UNO 602 services are appalling.. i have recently moved to the london colney area from london and my child (who is 13 yrs) still travels the journey to school and has been late 4 days out of 5 because these buses are NEVER ON TIME and the saver card is just a waste of money and i am strongly aginst this.

]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:54:37 UTC 14515844 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14048481?utm_medium=rss I see that the Savercard no longer lasts for years 11-16 but has to be renewed annually for £20 pa. For a childs school life, this would be £100 rather than £20 - hardly an increase for inflation. I also hear that the number of schools becoming acadamies has dented the finances of the Childrens, Schools and Familes dept. Another HCC income generation scheme.

if they are of older student then their students photo ID of where they study should be good enough to earn them 1/2 fare.. this would be cost less cut out having to apply for a saver card in the first place. The Bus drivers wouldn't really have a problem either. plus as the saver card are going to £20 = wages of the council staff that have to do these saver cards. aren't councils trying to save COST.

I was disgusted and contacted The Watford Observer who ran an article on it. She was 4 foot 10 at the time and had to borrow money off her friends to be allowed to travel home withthe, She was made to pay the adult fare.

She is twelve, not an adult. Three pounds single from Croxley she had the common sense to phone from the town to say what had happened. She was very upsett, the £6 total cost to return had she taken the bus back would have meant that she would have been unable to buy her mothers gift. other children would have walked back not a good idea if they are unsure of the route. We did not know of card scheme to say a child is a child ridicul

]]> Sat, 18 Sep 2010 05:31:52 UTC 8542754 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8440467?utm_medium=rss Both my son and daughter have on occasion left their saver card at home both on school buses and public service buses. Sometimes a driver will recognise them and remember having seen them before and lets them pay child fare on other occasions they have been reqired to pay full adult fare or get off the bus. I might also add that I do not believe that a child in the eyes of the law who does not vote or pay ni contributions or tax shoulod have to pay adult fare on a bus anyway They are NOT adults

This policy puts children at risk, and does seem to be a money making scheme. Why so children have to be charged for the card in the first place!!!

]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:41:39 UTC 6867319 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6777091?utm_medium=rss it is unjust that they ask us to pay adult fare if were children without saver cards

Why is it that a 16 year old is classed as an adult? He or she cannot vote, buy alcohol, cigarettes, sit on a Jury and most importantly they do not have to paid the same as someone over the age of 18. Yet the train/ bus companies seem to think it fair to charge adult fares.

My son does have a saver card and uses the buses regularly now but this was because he had to keep ID in his wallet after repeatedly having to pay full price on the trains because he looks older than he is. I think buses should be free to all U16s like they are in London.

On getting on a bus with her friend she was told to pay an adult fare or get off. I think this is appalling as she is 12 years old and whilst i understand some children look much older she does not and is quite obviously a child! I think ID should only be requested when there is some doubt over the age of the individual.
