It is clear that the majority of 16-18year olds are sick of having to pay for an adult fare when they are travelling via public transport. Many of us just don't understand why we have to pay for an adult fare when technically we aren't adults and in any other area of society we aren't classed as adults? So we need to ask the question- why are we being robbed of what little money we have- EMA has been cut and it's with sadness that I say a lot of young people in todays society simply can't afford to make their way to school; this his is justified by our receint news of a drop in school attendance. We need to put a stop to this madness.

The transport authority continues to ignore the fact that students cannot afford these outrageous fares while they slash our funding. We are being bled dry just to get to school and the silence from the people in charge is a slap in the face. Keep the pressure up because they are clearly hoping we just go away.

The transit authority is officially feeling the heat now that our momentum has become impossible for them to ignore. We are exposing their greed and they have nowhere left to hide.
