The Kunsill Studenti Universitarji in conjunction with Malta Public Transport and Transport Malta today announced the launch of the KSU Transport Fund, a €5,000 trust aimed at encouraging the use of alternative methods of transport to and from campus.
The Fund will be promoting and incentivising the use of public transport and other alternatives to car use among the university population in a bid to reduce the congestion and parking problems that continue to plague the university.
One of the initiatives launched as part of the fund will give students who have a parking permit the possibility to benefit from a 50 per cent reduction on a 90-day student bus ticket in a bid to encourage the use of public transport instead of their car to travel to university. This means that they would effectively be travelling for a whole semester at the price of one month.
The Transport Fund scheme will only be available through the official Malta Public Transport Student Saver Card and interested candidates must register for it with KSU online.
