Give Wellington tertiary students half fares on public transport
Give Wellington tertiary students half fares on public transport
The Issue
* Most Tertiary students have limited funds, and with cost of living increasing significantly each year, paying exorbitant prices for public transport means it is more difficult to make ends meet.
* Auckland, Palmerston North and many other cities around NZ and the world have Public Transport specials for Tertiary students.
* Many students drive to their institutions because petrol is CHEAPER than public transport. In a city that is trying to promote a "green" image, this is simply not acceptable. Students care about these issues and access to more affordable public transport would reduce traffic congestion on the roads.
What we want is:
A fair tertiary student fare on public transport around the Greater Wellington Region.
Come on Wellington Regional Council, help our city grow by giving tertiary students a helping hand!
