do you know why polish PKP and warsaw buses MZK don't accept ISIC as proof of student status?
because POLISH Students learnt how to use it in wrong way... how ?
ok you have right to have cheap tickests while you are a student. you finish your last year of studies, your student ID is still valid (they take it away from you when you collect your diploma). using this student ID, just before loosing your official status of a student you go to for example my office and ask to have ISIC card issued (for authority issuing ISIC it's still ok to do it, if in the day of issuing the card person is still a student). then you give your "real" student ID back to your uni and even though legaly you are not a student any longer, you still have isic card valid - if you are lucky to have it issued in September - untill end of the following year.
So without being a student, and legaly not having right to student discounts - you still have isic card saying you are a student for another year !
cheeky, and working well with student tickets abroad but in Poland, obviously many people used that trick too much (I'm not surprised with prices of tickets...) and PKP realised it's being cheated on and stopped that procedure by not accepting international student cards... with a hurt to many honest students...
