Tell your local MP how much it costs you to get on the Bus



NUS Welfare is currently embarking on a bus tour of the nation, visiting colleges where students are facing debilitating cuts to their travel subsidies.

  • Find this useful?

Without these subsidies many students will not be able to afford even arriving at their place of study, let alone all of the other associated costs of attending.

At each college we visit we are launching ticket-style petitions which get students to fill out how much it costs them to travel to and from their college every week, with an attached plea to the local authority to not cut their only means of accessing their education.

Upcoming bus stops include:

  • Prior Pursglove College
  • City College Plymouth
  • Coleg Llandrillo
  • And Bridgwater College


Fill in our online petition!

But don’t worry if the campaign isn’t travelling to a union near you; you can still fill out our online petition below, which instantly lets your local MP know how much it costs you every week to travel to college or university.

By filling out the petition you will be joining the hundreds of students already who have signalled to their local authority that they are prepared to fight back against cuts which severely disadvantage them, their families, and their fellow students.
