High Bus Fares for Polytechnic students
-
Yeah, they think that most students broke school rules by working, whether or not it is during the holidays or study period. That's why higher fares. They believe that JC students can't do that because of study stress. They believe that ITE students can't do that because they think that employers are still biased against them. Now see why?Originally posted by LinYu:frankly, I never understand why. Poly student got paid for studying in poly?
-
Poly students no need meh?Originally posted by Itachi:coz JC ppl need to save $ for further Uni studies?
-
in the end still the sameOriginally posted by Ponders:I think i have seen this issue brought up at Straits Times forums 3-4 times liao
-
eh this petition was it the same as the last time round one..
i think i signed it 1 year back..or maybe its a new petition.. -
You better be careful with the last sentence. Can get caught in a pretty uncorrupted Singapore.Originally posted by Ponders:i never understand their argument also...
everytime ppl complain, the reply is...
Poly = tertiary education
JC = JC.
that's why JC can have cheaper bus fare.
but ain't JC and poly ppl the same ppl who just finished O levels and continued their studies?
Poly Students richer meh?
More like some ppl paid money to go a JC instead. -
Then you mean that poly students don't need go uni lor?Originally posted by Itachi:coz JC ppl need to save $ for further Uni studies?

dunno leh lol.. if given a chance i oso wan go la -
You try lor.Originally posted by donchoo:Thats why we must kick up a fuss!! Like what they did about the pianist who dodged NS. In the end it led to harsher penalties.
Forgive me for being so childish on this matter, but its singapore. To put it crudely, the govt only bothers about anything when public reaction is stirred.
Last year poly forum Dr Vivian gave a nice answer on this issue and we kicked up a huge fuss in this forum. More than 10 pages for you to read.
Nothing is done.
If you want a fuss, riots is the best. It's the only way you can attract attention. Remember the CPF incident? 4 people gather outside only mata come. Riot police getting ready also. Don't even fit into the law's definition of illegal gathering (group of 5 people or more gathering). -
If they decrease fees, I consider. But high chance I am not furthering studies, at least not soon after I graduate.Originally posted by Itachi:

The longer you wait, the higher the fees get, the more you get turned off from the idea, 20 years down the road, you're still where you started.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:If they decrease fees, I consider. But high chance I am not furthering studies, at least not soon after I graduate. -
From the day i step into poly till i graduated nothing is done. Live and let live la. The Govt has the final say.Originally posted by Itachi:http://www.petitiononline.com/polybus/petition.html
Petition has been there for so long.. but nothing is being changed..
-
the garment just loves jc students. Just can't take it anymore.
-
i'm a jc student. but now i graduate already and paying adult fares. it sucks!
okay bye bye i have nothing to say already good luck paying adult fares!
-
hanar fug.. after my i left my sec sch i kena adult fare liao
-
Well, I guess it's really unfair for Poly students to be paying full adult fares. I mean, just look at the age difference! It's more or less the same. I'm a JC student myself, i;ve been enjoying concession rates while my friends at the poly side spend up to $100 a month on transportation.
They;re of the same age as myself, do not get school allowance and still largely dependant on parents for money.
I do not see why poly students of our age should be paying full adult fares. It;s not rational at all. -
what was governments ans to this issue ah?
-
Ok.... i retract my sentence. haha...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:You better be careful with the last sentence. Can get caught in a pretty uncorrupted Singapore.
i rephrase to..
"more like people donate to JC Building Fund, or JC Anniversary Fund, JC Build-a-swimming Pool fund" -
I dunno whether the reply was government's reply or Transitlink's reply.Originally posted by Itachi:what was governments ans to this issue ah?
But i already said it in the earlier post...
Poly = Tertiary Education
JC = JC.
THat's why JC enjoy subsidised rate.
Now i wonder where this "subsidy" came from. -
thats how the system is run here. squeeze everyone from baby to old persons to make them work harder, no time for politics and longer to help gov have more money reserves to spent on themselves.
-
No lah
The system ensures govt to claim teritary education is world class -
Doesn't matter. There's always upgrading courses.Originally posted by ditzy:The longer you wait, the higher the fees get, the more you get turned off from the idea, 20 years down the road, you're still where you started. -
Actually they are subsidised by teritary studentsOriginally posted by Ponders:I dunno whether the reply was government's reply or Transitlink's reply.

Here how it goes, SBS makes svs serving NUS and NP/ SP progressively to go NAC, from here, they can cash in more profits because the bus stamp system today is to their advantage as there is only the aircon rate stamp. From here, they go subsidise those bus svs that have brunching of buses reguarly cos at the end of the day, the managers at SBS only bothers abt the revenue collected per qtr -
will getting motobike be more wu hua?
