I was just advised that over 800 UPEI students voted yesterday and two thirds were in favor of a Charlottetown Transit U-Pass being included in their tuition. Students rightly should be concerned about any increase in the tuition they pay, and certainly not all of them will use the service they are paying for, but the passes are being sold at a massive discount ($7.50 per month, as opposed to the regular $50 monthly rate for students).
This will help make the transit service more economically sustainable, and students without cars will also have a much wider range of apartment options, which is nice if you don’t want to live in residence or the rowdy student ghetto at Brown’s Court.
Wow, only one year behind they voted last year in favor b y 600 and said that it wasn’t enough. How democratic to take into account the non voters
