Unfortunately, the bus schedules were not continuous and did not necessarily coincide with student's schedules. Thus, it was not fully utilized. Today, significant improvements have been made to encourage use of the transit system. According to Derrick Huggins, Director of Transportation Services, the system transports approximately 55,000-60,000 people per month. This system currently operates 5 buses that carry between 25-30 people each.
Buses run every seven minutes along four routes.
The current transit system serves approximately 450,000 to 500,000 people per year, as compared to 250,000 people per year nine years ago. Burdened with constant and heavy use, buses are serviced in accordance with a pre-maintenance schedule determined by the University. Each bus uses diesel fuel and has an average fuel efficiency of 8 miles per gallon. Buses average 112 miles per day and are scheduled for service every 100,000 miles. Three of the five operating buses meet these standards.
