]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2017 09:10:08 UTC 21621086 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15738952?utm_medium=rss My daughter is 14 years of age and cannot take the bus to school without a faresaver ticket. She is penalised for being tall which apparently makes her look older. She is clearly in school uniform and I think that it is disgusting that she should pay an adult fare unless I pay for an extra ticket to allow her to travel as a child. I believe that adult fare should start at 18 especially now that it is compulsory to stay in education until you are 18.

]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:27:17 UTC 8377560 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8367808?utm_medium=rss I do not think that it is fair that only Southend have a different rule to all other Southern regions for child fare. Also, children are children whatever age they are so I do not see why the fare should be raised at 14 years of age, they are not working and earning their own living, so what makes them different when they're14!

I protest as he had to walk home and it was just under the 3 miles.

]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:31:14 UTC 8178348 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8177698?utm_medium=rss A person is legally classed as a child until they reach the age of 16. Until then they may not marry, leave school or earn the minimum wage. Why then, should they be forced to pay adult prices on Arriva buses? No wonder more children are being driven about by their parents! This is especially outrageous considering other parts of the same county do not rip 14 and 15 year old off. Children in london get free travel, why can't Southend's children at least pay child prices!!!!!!

My 14 year old's music lessons are now 33% more expensive when bus fare is added, straining an already tight budget.

These prices have ranged from £2.10 - £3.50, and in certain cases I have realised that some bus drivers have pocketed around £0.40. The current price is outrageous and is far to much just to get to school. It would mean that I would be paying on average £17.50 per week. Now I have opted to leaving Arriva'sw service.
