The Ministry of Education will stop issuing bus travel vouchers by 30th September this year as eticketing cards will be issued to them.
Students that benefit from the bus fare subsidy scheme will need to check with the Ministry of Education or their school on where and how to get their eTransport Card.
Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the government has allocated $20 million for the bus fare subsidy scheme.
He says Vodafone Fiji has also agreed that if students lose their cards it will be replaced free of charge.
Sayed-Khaiyum says students will also be able to use their eTransport cards on Saturday if they are wearing their school uniform because schools organise Saturday classes.
