Student transportation support: Bristol-South Gloucestershire?

Question

I am a new student in year 10, in Mangotsfield school in south gloc but i live in bristol, the bristol council said that they wont give me a bus pass because the school isnt in bristol, the yearly ticket is too expinsive what should i do?

btw the distance is 3 miles

Answer 1

WALK - 3 miles is NOTHING.  If I miss the bus to work, I have to walk the 9 miles there.

Answer 2

Cycling is the way forward! You can get a bike quite cheaply (under a tenner) from a car boot sale. Is there anyone who lives near you who you could get a lift from? Perhaps you parents work in somewhere like Aztec West and could drive you part of the way?

Answer 3

Cycle or walk

Answer 4

Good grief, you should walk.  I walk that distance to work and I must be nearly 3 times your age!

Get some exercise and save your money.

Answer 5

Cycle, Bristol is the city of the bike now, I saw on the local news that they were going to give bikes to people if they needed them. RIng the BBC or the council and ask where you can get a free bike from.

Answer 6

You will need to buy a bus pass or find another means of transport.

Answer 7

Walk.
