stellazio SG

i'm only angry that they gave me stupid reasons,soo maybe it did justify their kids price..cause of their inability to think of better reasons.. Laughing

Blueicez SG

Oh.. then u better go tell the govt... all students should pay student fares.. in that case, i'll gain too... it makes everyone except the transport companies happy ya.

R3SsH|n SG

i stated the 2nd qns cos it was mention in the news...the qns was mentioned by a student who was interviewed by the reporter...it is not without concrete bases....

RockeY SG

tell me whats the difference between an ITE and a Poly?And you think no one tried running a petition before??They kept giving the same reasons which is why this problems continue to exists,cause they couldn't give us a definite enough answer to shut us ups.. Razz

hisoka SG

hmm most jc pple not reply out of self-interest? no good reason can be given unless you want to fator in the compulsory attendence which is sort of like a skool........................

my guesss is they keep quiet cos they are afriad if a consensus is reached with htem in agreement the government might decide to raise the bus fares for them and not lower the fares for poly students.

Blueicez SG

ya lah.. and why must the title be

POLY and JC students come in.......

and not

WHY poly students need to pay more bus fare..

sometime these Q&A session has became a heat exchange question. then again, Dr Vivian will go blah blah blah until the time for buffet is almost ready. Finally when he asked anymore questions, there will be some student speak up again… UrgH!!!!

stellazio SG

cause if that was the case,only poly students will come in..The thread starter wanted to hear your own reasons.. Laughing

stellazio SG

Beating around the bush..I told you liao,not because he doesn't want to give answer,its because he can't.. Laughing

Depressed...sigh SG

But JC is for ppl of age 16-18 (when u first enter J1, if your are beyond that age, no matter how good your studies is, you can't get in) So maybe they get to pay student fare?

For poly, the age is not limited so they have to adult fare, oh well, but still not fair for ppl og age around 16-18 too Neutral

R3SsH|n SG

and ya...apparently your reasons don't seem to come with good backing...

798 SG

how i wish he could just replied, "Buffet and refreshment is ready" Laughing

RockeY SG

So if you can give your own opinion about us being immature,why can't we give opinions about the JC students..And since you seem to think of yourself as mature,give us a reason on this scenario..Cause uptill now your post has to be nominated as the most off topic post.. Razz

stellazio SG

and the overwhelming majority in poly is around 16-18 too..at least a sensible reply.. Laughing

skyfoo SG

1), it's perhaps that JCs are under the charge of MOE while polytechnics are considered private institutions. that's why we still receive bus fares subsides from the govt. also, could be due to the no. of "overage" and foreign students there. u dun expect adults of 25 yrs old and those foreigners who only came for poly education to pay 45c for bus faer right?

R3SsH|n SG

ya lohz...but think about it...if you are studying...chances are you don't work full time or regularly...even those 22-28 years old...the most they do is part-time jobs or mlm companies...seriously...how much can you earn from it?with this amount...enough for you to pay for transport...makan...and school fees?

RockeY SG

I think its more like they chose not to make Poly under MOE,so they can charge us more..Yaa ok about the overage stuff explain to me why 20+ ITE students are using bus fares.. Razz

798 SG

being a poly student myself, i feel that should concession bus pass imposed next time. later jc students will kpkb that poly students should wear uniform to campus... which i dun buy dat! Laughing

comeon, poly students should behave like young adults and stop being whiners. Neutral

sinicker SG

hello, i'm a JC student. the reason as to why jc students pay student fares is simple.

JC students are ALL in a 2-year range. afterwhich, they may quit aft As (not suggested) or go to a local uni (where they pay adult fares).

try to look at it this way. see "how near you are to entering the workforce". a jc student, upon embarking jc education has abt 6yrs (gals)/8yrs (guys) b4 they start working if they take the jc uni route. when these jc students are in uni/NS, they are already paying adult fares. thus, they pay 4yrs/6yrs of adult fare b4 they start working!

a poly student, if they start work aft obtaining their diploma, has only 3yrs (gals)/5 yrs(guys) b4 entering the workforce. they pay 3yrs/5yrs of adult fare b4 they start working!!

poly students are at an advantage? it's evident.
