Isabela lawmaker Faustino Dy V pushes amendment of student fare discount act - BusinessMirror

A lawmaker has called on Congress to pass House Bill1142 or the proposed Student Fare Discount Act of 2022 to include tickets bought online.

Isabela Rep. Faustino Dy V said transport tickets purchased online should also be discounted amid a nationwide fare hike that took effect on October 3.

“This is an exception that doesn’t make sense, and disincentivizes the use of technology when in fact we must push for its more widespread adoption,” he added. “In case of transportation tickets purchased online, the students are also entitled to the 20-percent discount, subject to verification provided in the IRR and the presentation of their duly issued school identification cards or current valid enrollment upon purchase of the tickets online,” the bill said.
