Kids call for free travel card for 11-17 year olds to be saved

Children have been protesting against the end of free travel cards for most 11-17 year olds in London as part of a charity campaign.

The Child Poverty Action Group says scrapping the card will have a big impact on families from low incomes.

The government says the decision was part of an agreement with Transport for London to cope with the coronavirus epidemic.

It says fewer people travelling will make public transport safer and that some children will still get to travel for free.
