Bus Passes
Bus Passes
Dear Simon,
Is there any valid reason why university students are not eligilbe for bus passes on W.C.C. buses? Teacher's Training College students receive travel allowances for travel to and from Karori. Polytech students may use bus passes the same as those available to primary' and secondary school students. Therefore is seems grossly unfair that we as university students, who are just as hard up (if not more so) as other tertiary students, do not receive such a concession.
I am sure that many fellow student commuters feel equally discontented. Can anything be done to alleviate this dire situation?
Yours ever-hopefully
,Vicky Lawson.
P.S. Also, at the risk of sounding super-stingy, may I ask why we have to pay 25 cents for coffee at the Studass Cafe when coffee is only 12 cents at the Polytech Cafe? Is ours a superior blend or are we subtly being ripped off???
