As a disabled student, who already has to travel by train, I rely on the U1 bus to take me from the train station to campus which could be about hour walk. With the current cost of living my student loan does not leave me with enough money to cover the cost of £4 a day to use the bus.
Rhian apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!This is a ridiculous change! I already pay £60 a week communting to uni because accommodation costs are too expensive, the free unibus is the best thing about the uni! The busses are shocking with some rather unpleasant drivers and now they want to start charging! Please sign this, something needs to change!
I'm sure many new students will also be reconsidering their places now to make getting to university cheaper, there is already a cost of living crisis and they want to pile this onto students too!
Who thought that £300 annually is going to be feasible for students, more so those who are also paying for accomodation and commuting
Sophie apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!It is sad that the very thing that stands UoD out is the very thing they want to take away after paying huge amounts as school fees. This is unfair and shouldn't even be considered for whatsoever reasons. Keep UoD Buses free, we want them to remain free of charge for the sake of the mental health of students.
Livvy apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!As a disabled student I rely heavily on the U1 I physically cannot afford to pay the cost of the bus every single day and there’s no chance DSA will cover it!
Rebecca apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!This is a ridiculous change at the University of Derby, with tuition fees increasing, the cost of food and essentials increasing and other expenses of being a student. Asking students to pay for the unibus is outrageous. Furthermore, this will negatively impact students with disabilities, with many becoming unable to travel to and from their lectures, pairing this alongside the removal of support plan extensions, this feels like an all-out attack on disabled students, as every day the University of Derby excludes them more and more.
Shauna apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!Without the buses being free you place many students especially female at risk. I myself used to park at Markeaton during my undergraduate degree and the walk over there at night which was often in the winter months is dark with no lighting between the street as you enter the park on keddlestone road all the way to the entrance to the car park. As many students carry laptops this leads them at greater risk of being attacked and robbed and leaves women vulnerable to being raped. A student should not have to decide between a safe journey to the car park or saving the money for the many other costs that students are faced with whilst at uni. Being safe is just as important as needing food to eat, both ensure the student attends their lectures and graduates with the grades needed to go on to the next journey in their lives.
Evette apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!The U1 is more than just a bus to the main university campus. As a student struggling to still adjust to a relatively newfound chronic illness, this bus has provided a pathway for me to still attend and garner the best knowledge I can from university alongside many disabled students who cannot do the full 30 minutes of walking due to illnesses or mobility problems. I also regularly travel between two cities and the travel to and from the train station is already such a necessity of my life, and with many students hardly being able to afford food let alone Ubers, how else are we meant to travel if we can't walk?
H apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!As a student enrolling in September, this feels like a kick in the teeth for them to make this change after many people have accepted their place. With the rise of tuition fees and the cost of living, life as a student is expensive enough... The unibus service was a nice way of lightening the load for students and to make it, in most cases, as expensive as a regular bus journey is ridiculous.
Richard apoyó esta petición: Keep UOD buses free!Ridlcous decison from UOD. As someone who has a mild disability, it is so helpful to use the U1 to get from my accommodation into town and to the uni.
