my last statement was tongue in cheek.

I was relatively lucky during my education. Through 3 degress I got fees paid and in 2 cases a substantial government grant and fees (as it was something the government were pushing at the time)

If I had my way students would still receive grants, but that's not the way life is now, and to be consistent, if loans are used for other maintenance during that educational period, then transport costs would fall in to that category.
