So, obviously, they can't afford full price fares, and so in the
interests of encouraging them to continue their education, they can get
cheaper travel.


If their parents didn't give them any money they couldn't afford ANY fares
so since its their parents paying theres no reason they can't cough up a
full fare.


What? 16-18 year old Londoners in further edukashun (sixth form etc)
get free bus travel. It makes a world of difference to some.

If they're so poor they can't afford a bus fare then their family is
probably already on benefits. Theres no justifiable reason for kids to
have free or subsidised travel on public transport.

Having kids isn't required by law. If you can't afford them , don't have them.
