A group of students at City of Bristol College are petitioning council chiefs asking for free travel on the city’s buses for young people - after a commitment to introduce it was watered down to just having ‘reduced fares’.
Hundreds of young people have signed the petition drafted by the students, who have formed a campaign group called My World My Home, to call for improvements to the environment in Bristol.
But free travel for people under 25, or even for students and apprentices older than 16, appears as far away as ever, following the drawing up of a ‘Bus Service Improvement Plan’, which has watered down the commitment to bring it in.
