2 Daryl AndersonThey may be over 25 but they are students and deserve the same treatment as us younger students. All Students hit money problems and these people are no different.

7 Wajahat ZeeshanI am in and yes Paragraph above is completely true. They should consider this case seriously.

9 Alexander MoritzThe idea behind a student discount is the financial situation in which students are - this doesn't change if you turn 26. We need a student Ridacard as well!

11 Joanne PatersonI find this rule ludicrous. All students regardless of age should be entitled to the benefit of discounted fares.

14 AnonymousHmm. I got my student buss pass when I was 24, and have simply been renewing it every month without hassle. Think ahead, mature students!

22 AnonymousI think for full time Mature Students should pay the same like young full time students.
23 Fiona MouatI am a full-time student nurse over the age of 25 and I feel that the current age discrimination towards older students is unacceptable, its not just the young ones that have to watch the pennies!
24 Mr Jacek Jablonski
25 Bei JiaoFull-time mature students are entitled to enjoy discounted bus card, I believe.
26 Yuxin YanI am a full time student and i will be 26 this Nov. I really don't understand why age should be a problem to have Bus discount.
27 Arlene PatersonA lot of mature students are now going back to study full time. Why should they not be allowed to have the same rights as any other full time students?

31 Ashutosh DubeyI agree with the petition one hundred percent. I think we mature students also carry a lot of financial responsibility speacially the ones those who have come here with dependents.
32 Andrew Landelsi think this campaign is an excellent idea. I agree fully with the statement above- that mature students generally carry more financial burdens
33 Altaf KhawarThis is great campaign. There should not be any age diffecence if some body is a student.
34 AnonymousWHY SHOULD A MATURE STUDENT PAY MORE????? ANY REASONS??? IS A STUDENT A STUDENT OR WHAT????

37 zophie horstedIt is ridiculous that age is a factor with regards to eligibility for student discounts. My financial status did not change on my 25th birthday so why should my entitlements?

42 SAMSON PANDAM SALIFUIt is simply disgraceful and out of proportion to discriminate against mature student. We all attend classes and lectures regularly and have no much time left to work full time and even sometimes impossible to take up part time jobs. Ageing does not come with money lining our packets. This is simply scandalous beyond discrimination of mature students and we must fight it to the last drop of our blood. Given that we also contribute significantly towards improvement of our societies through research and knowledge acquired from classrooms, this discrimination must stop and stop right now.
