For the those who do not reside in Singapore, polytechnic students must pay adult transportation fares whilst students in Junior Colleges pay their fares at a cheaper student rate. This is so despite the fact the poly students are of the same age group as JC students. Why the discrimination?

yup.i highly agree with you.they are of the same age and that means they take up the same amount of space in the buses and trains.this issue has not been resolved for many years due to singapore polytechnic student union incapabilities!anyhow,i think the main reason is because we're no longer under MOE so therefore,they do not really bother about our welfare.so the problem will always remain unsolved until someone else except that stupid school's union step up!

The public transportation fares for concession passes are based not on the age but on the qualification that you are attending to. Polytechnic students are considered tertiary students, the same as university students. As such, they are subjected to adult fare similar to university students.

Polytech should look into a reduced fare contract with the transit authority like the junior colleges do.

welcome and only in singapore. technically, a poly student is just as income incapacitated as any jc student and technically they should be entitled to student concession . this is the same as any scheme in entire europe for students who gets the same concession in their respective country.
