    In August 2025 the UniBuses a signature of the University and arguably a selling point will no longer be free and will in fact be charging students per single way trip £2 or £300 for an Annual Pass this will inhibit peoples abilities to get to societies held at Kedleston Road campus and will prevent future or current members from joining. It will also make transport for exams more difficult for those with mobility issues or those arriving by train. So I am calling for a cancellation of fees.

10:24pm on 30 Apr 25 The University of Derby has shown it has enough money to develop it's infrastructure, yet has consistently reduced funding and withdrawn support from its students. This is poor business practice, especially considering most, if not all, of the funding for such efforts (like the Business School development) comes from the students themselves - who already struggle to make ends meet!

10:47pm on 30 Apr 25 Charging students for the buses is very shortsighted, doing so will reduce the total number of National Students from attending the University and overall will cause more harm to the local economy of Derby as there will be less students overall seen as Student will be less incentivized to go to Derby because of the higher costs of transport.

8:08am i commute to university which takes me around 2 hours to get to uni and back home. trains and busses are already costing me lots of money and i believe that making students pay for the bus will be disadvantaging a lot of us who are struggling. keep busses free!
