A turn-around is good. A lot of cars park in the bus zone and people often jump in front of the bus. Actual construction of this project was expected to start over the summer and be completed before school started. Funding came from a much needed grant that was delayed. Neal mentioned that he would like to get more students accommodated in the buses.
Public buses have bike racks which allow students to bring their bikes to campus.
With the increase in gas prices and shortage of parking spaces, students and faculty may find public transit a good alternative to driving a car. They should spend it on additional parking or academics. Neal said that no actual complaints have come in yet and that everyone is patient with the project.
