University of New Brunswick Student Union discounted bus pass referendum succeeds

Posted on 2025-03-24 by Aidan Keenan Posted in News

On February 12, 2025, the University of New Brunswick Student Union (UNBSU) announced that their referendum to add a discounted bus pass to international student fees had passed. The referendum asked “Would you support the following – for International Students: That all International students pay an annual mandatory fee of $180 that will provide them with a City of Fredericton Bus Pass from
September 1 to August 31 of each year.” Approximately 30% of international students voted in the referendum, of which 73.6% voted in favour. Only international students voted in the referendum, as the mandatory fee only applied to them. Domestic students who want a discounted bus pass can opt-in but are not required to pay the fee otherwise. Previously, UNB students paid $720 for an annual bus pass, the new discount offers an annual bus passes for $180.
