If this little dent to their pay disrupts them so, then why don't they add in more money so that the low to middle income families can earn more and have a better standard of living, which will also boost economy growth. We, as citizens, pay more and receive less and so with this little movement, make our day, why don't you?

We are not even working so why do we have to pay adult fare? We are already paying so much for polytechnic additional fees especially in design courses. Everything also requires us to pay such a big price when the government encourage everybody to have a good education. If that is the case, equality should also be for us since Singapore is an 'equal' nation. Why do we have to pay premium as students when were just using a public facility that is used by every?

As it is 'adult' fare, why should we as under 21 year old people, be paying if we are not adults?

Also, I would like to point out the fact that one year of polytechnic costs much more than a year in Junior College. Just because we have chosen to study a course we know we have interest in does not mean we should have to pay anymore.

But, the main impression I get when I see the increased fare on the bus, is the biased attitude of the government. Just because we decided not to choose JC, which is (correct me if I'm wrong) a government institute and therefore heavily subsidized, they are saying "hey, we offered you JC, if you don't want it it's not out problem."

It is inconceivable that we have to pay adult fare despite not reaching the age of 18. And even if we have reached 18 years of age, we are still students. Shouldn't we be getting the same treatment no matter what kind of school or campus we are attending? I feel that the government should put in more thoughts into this matter.

It is a matter of rather grades is important. Instead, student fees should be based on age, not education.

Maybe this way the government won't lose so much money too also.
