How Will This Idea Benefit Students?

Students are advised by the Union to stay with mates or get a cab. There should be a free or discounted service for students to use. Students deserve to feel safe in the fact they'll be able to get home at the end of the night.

A free or discounted bus or taxi service should be available for students.

Students should not feel like that they have to worry about walking home alone or getting a taxi alone.

Students should be able to leave Purple Wednesday at any point throughout the night with a way of getting home safe. Students should not feel pressured to stay out later than they feel comfortable just to be able to get home safe.
