I echo the comments of the previous speakers and acknowledge the tremendous work that the Minister has done and undertaken and is pursuing in this regard. To shorten the road ahead I suggest that the students that remain off-list and who cannot avail of transport and get a ticket be catered for by way of concessionary payment. At least it would remove the immediate problem. That is not to belittle in any way the tremendous work that the Minister has done but merely to continue it.
