Uni train travel

I realise that me and DD have been UR in not properly checking out the cost of her train travel to uni. She‘s living at home so somehow it didn’t seem important.

However we now discover it’s going to cost £11 a day. No other transport method available.

AIBU to think that there is no way to reduce this cost as the student railcard seems to have a minimum spend, she’ll be travelling mostly at peak times and at 21 she doesn’t seem to qualify for any reductions.

I'm not aware of it having a minimum spend unless anything has changed in the past couple of years
It's always had a minimum spend. It did over 20 years ago when I had one

My usual £60/day commute is reduced to £19/day when I buy a year long season ticket. You will probably get comparable savings.
