Our objective is to fight against the current age discrimination shown towards students who are in full-time study over the age of 25 by Lothian Buses. Who like our younger counterparts carry the same burdens, if not more. More often Students over the age of 25 also carry heavier financial burdens due to dependents, family commitments and or unemployment. What we are asking by filing this petition is why over 25 yr old students should not receive the same entitlements that all full-time students receive
The stories coming in from mature students regarding their travel costs are heartbreaking. I am currently working on a formal request for a meeting with the transit authorities to discuss these discrepancies.

Lothian buses need to get with the times. Being a student is expensive enough without these extra costs.

Exactly. Just because I'm over 25 doesnt mean I have extra cash lying around. If anything I have less.

Struggling enough as it is trying to balance classes and work. This would actually help so much.

Ridiculous that they cut it off at 25. Some of us are going back to school later in life and we have kids to feed too. Not fair.

Why do they penalize mature students? Makes no sense at all. Same course load same stress same uni.
