Singapore Daily supports fairer fares for polytechnic and tertiary students!
A group of 10 young Singaporeans, mainly students from Temasek Polytechnic are initiating this National Petition for Fairer Transportation Fares for Polytechnic/ Tertiary Students. This is a campaign to collect between 30,000 to 100,000 actual signatures. Anyone from students; past, present and future, parents, educators, and ordinary Singaporeans, young and old can participate.

The petition highlights:
* The displeasure that polytechnic/ tertiary students are unfairly required to pay as much as 89% more in terms of transport fares than their peers in JCs and ITEs.
* The unnecessary financial burden placed upon by transport operators on parents; especially now in times of financial difficulties.
* The proposed revised concession fare chart

Simple ways to participate and support this nationwide campaign:
1. Email your support to this email address (petition4fairtransport@gmail.com):
* Name:
* NRIC: (required)
* Student? (Y/N)
* Institution of Study (If applicable)
* Remarks (if any)

2. Sign up to be an official volunteer to bring forth the petition to your school/ institution of study/ workplace

3. Spread the word and put up the campaign logo on your blog/website.
