hey people.
check out this piece of current news that AFFECTS US!!!
POLY STUDENTS WANT FAIRER TRANSPORT FARES
it is in the news that this national petition was set up by poly students because they feel that poly students are paying way too much more than JC students.
no offence to JC students of course.
check this out.
For polytechnic students, they are as follows:
Bus Concession Pass - $52/month, unlimited bus concession travel on basic fare bus services for one month.
Train Concession Pass - $45/month, up to 4 rides per day on the MRT/LRT for one month.
Hybrid Concession Pass - $97/month, unlimited bus concession travel on basic fare bus services for one month and up to 4 rides per day on the MRT/LRT for one month.
“This is in sharp contrast to the amount junior college (JC) students and students from the Institutes of Technical Education (ITE) are paying to purchase the same concession passes under the same terms of use,” says the group.
For JC and ITE students, the same concession passes cost $27.50, $25 & $52.50 respectively.
“The percentage difference in prices ranges from 80 per cent to 89 per cent,” they say. And therein lies the unhappiness for the polytechnic students - the issue of fairness between different groups of students.
if you read the newspapers recently it stated that the number of ''O'' levels students are actually opting for polytechnics instead of JC. with this increasing number, wouldnt more students have to pay more JUST to go to school?? think how much you could have spent on transport ALONE
when you probably could have put that amount of money to better use for studies eg. getting textbooks, or saving for the essential laptop every poly student needs!!
based on the above website mentioned, this petition is targetted to have 30,000-100,000 signatures.
I have just signed the online petition. and my signature is the 28,441 signature.
this is where i have signed it.
or you can also click the link from the online citizen website after reading the report.
look for ''online petition''.
come on guys!
sign the petition for lower transportation rates and spread the word around as well!!!
because if this succeeds it will greatly affect us next year onwards!!
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PETITION!!
