They can do everything else adult. |

If they can afford it. If they can't then there's paper round jobs out there, and other work. Work
teaches one to become independent, and not to become reliable on others. |

I think that having a 14 year old pay adult fees is perfectly fine. Today, most 14 year old want to
dress and act like adults, so why not charge them like adults? They like to smoke, drink, party, and
dress provocatively. They commit adult crimes. So, I strongly believe that 14 year old should have
to pay adult fees to do things. They want to be treated like adults, so we should treat them like
adults. Children’s fee should be for children between the ages of 1 and 12. Anyone over 12 should
have to pay adult fees in today’s world. Kids are not what they used to be. |

It's fair at 14 you will need to learn to take on more responsibilities maybe get a job? |
| |
|

You shouldn't have to pay adult fares until you are legally an adult at 18.
Even then, fares for transport and such should be lower, it is just such a scam because companies
can get more money no matter who they annoy |

I don't understand, how come they cant vote they cant drink or smoke but if they have a job they can
pay taxes and yet they have to pay adult fees for almost everything...I know i was pretty pissed
about that as a 14 year old...i‘m 17 now and still bitter |
| |

No its completely unfair. I'm 14 and I'm sck of everything being so much more expensive. We aren't
adults in any other sense. We cant buy drink, gamble and are forced to go to school and yet to make
more money they class us as adults. |

Make me pay adult fares at 16, sure. But then not give me access to the Adult-rated films?
Something's got to give. |

I think that 14yrs old should not have to pay adult prices because they are not adults yet. They are
not in the work force yet. Restaurants that have buffet prices should also consider that most 14yr
old do not consume as much food as a full grown adult. |

I disagree. 14 years old aren't eligible to jobs, benefits or any means of income. How can they
afford adult fares? From parents, well change them to parent fares!!! If to smoke, to drink, to get
into night clubs and watch horror movies you have to be an ADULT, and be 18, then why is is to pay
for an ADULT train ticket you have to be 14??? Its a total contradiction and completely unfair. |

14 year old may dress and act like 18 year old or they may not, I don't care. Until Society offers
them the rights and responsibilities which are associated with the age of majority (such as voting
and smoking) they should not charge them like adults. |
| |
|
| |
|

The day 14 year old can get into 18 rated films and get into the bars in the cinema, is the day they
should pay adult fares. This doesn't appear to be happening any time soon. Therefor, until we are
treated like adults, we shouldn't pay prices of adults. |

Absolutely not, when you are fourteen you are still a MINOR. It's illegal for a minor to smoke,
drive and drink. It's true that many 14 years old want to dress and act like adults, but that is how
ALL kids are... Not just 14 years old. And yes, many of these kids smoke and drink, BUT NOT ALL OF
THEM! Why should the good kids suffer because their peers are smoking and drinking? And when you are
14, you are making minimum wage. That's not ADULT INCOME, and adults who are making minimum wage
usually had there chance to make something of themselves. Not just 14 years old smoke and drink, it
goes a little younger then that. Sure, many of them commit adult crimes but that's a different thing
all together. It's not really an ADULT crime, it's just a crime that was usually committed by
adults. But it's also a crime to smoke tobacco and drink (for minors.) THATS NOT AN ADULT CRIME. If
you want to treat them like adults, then treat them LIKE ADULTS, lower the legal age. They only
reason they are considered adults and are required to pay adult fares is because ADULT FARS COST
MORE MONEY. So, if they can get away with charging adult fees to children then they will do it.
ADULT FARES ARE FOR ADULTS. |

NO, When you14 you not an adult your still a teen fourteen!!! Not an adult how do the aspect us to
pay that when we can't even get jobs to pay for things we want? That is so stupid there just
getting greed for more money that’s all. That’s what is going to end the world if anything. |

I don't think this is right because consequently the government in this country has decided that
someone isn't considered an adult until they reach 18 years of age. Therefore, surely i am right in
thinking that things such as fares shouldn't be upped to adult price until that person reaches 18
years of age? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I believe that if I'm going to pay as an adult then they should have to give me all the same rights
as an adult, therefore make me and adult. Either lower the prices or lower the legal age of adults. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

No it is ridicules... We are regarded as adults to pay but we get none of the responsibilities that
come with adulthood until you are 18!!! It is so unfair |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think that it would be ridiculous
because we are still only kids |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No, under the eyes of they law they are still children |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No! How are we supposed to get the money to pay for stuff like that? Adult fares should be given to
people who can legally have a job, and nothing more! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No its not right at all. If people keep telling you that you have boundaries because you are still
not an "adult" but you have to pay a fare to be one that's messed up |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No because they are not over 17. |
| |
|
| |
|

If we can't have a licence, then why should we pay the same as older people who can?
We aren't really adults yet, we're still kids, even if some of us act older.
We can't even see an 'r' rated movie without an adult, so why should we pay the same?!!! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I believe that the age for paying adult fares for these things should be at least 16.
Definitely by 18, as that's the adult age in many countries. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
If a 14 years old isn't legally classed as an adult, then they should not be charged as adults. |

I do not agree that the 14 years old have to pay adult fares. Why should they do this? In the course
of life, they are said to be non-adult in every aspects but in the case of giving fare to their bus
journey and movie tickets they should be given the fares like adults. This is not at all acceptable
only because this is not justified at all. In the age of 14 years, a boy or a girl do not make his
or her own income. They have to be dependant on their parents’ income. They are better being known
as the students and thus they should not be asked the same amount of fare what an adult pays. This
is very much clear that why should they have to pay adult fares when they do not get any other
privileges what the adults get? |
| |

Agreed, it is not fair.
There are child prices for 12 and under on menus, movie tickets, amusement park tickets, etc. And
then there are adult prices. But very few jobs hire kids under 16, so the 13,14, and 15 year olds
are left uncategorized. They are forced to try to scrounge up money from their parents or get it in
other means.
And furthermore, it doesn't seem fair that they would pay adult rates for movies and not even be
permitted to see adult movies that are rated R? Something is seriously twisted with that. There
definitely should be 3 sets of pricing. |

14 year olds don't normally have an income, and they aren't adult citizens yet. As far as I'm
considered, I don't think we should be charged adult prices when we don't have other adult
privalleges- like voting and drinking. |
