I myself have been noticing a high rise in children being denied access to Buses in and around London . I am a mother of 4 , and my children have been denied entry on many occasions leaving them to walk home. For some children this isn’t that much of a deal, for others this is a huge worry . A system of zip cards are in place ,but  when a child loses one or is waiting for its arrival it can take a while , leaving some parents unable to afford the fairs , or children can loose their money or belongings leaving them with no zip card or travel money , does this mean the child should be punished and not able to return home safely , also putting them in danger. 
Children should be allowed entry on buses with or without money . Some children have been ridiculed, mocked , bullied by bus drivers . This has to end , how can a child’s safety of returning home be denied ? So many parents work which would leave the child unable to call for assistance. 
With winter approaching the days are darker much earlier , these children’s lives are already at risk now days , giving them a bus ride home is nothing . I have seen children in tears and traumatised . I ask for you to help end this and bring some safety for Our children , if a child asks to ride the bus without a fair or zip card this really should be allowed .
