There is concern for the sensitivity of the labs above the breezeway and calibration problems caused by vibrations from the buses. In addition, they are concerned about the exhaust and air quality problem in such a closed-in area as the breezeway. The change also allows the shuttle contract company to use taller buses than the breezeway could accommodate. The express route will consist of only three stops, UT Housing's main stop, UCT and the Medical School. The buses, which should be in service by March 1999, will be compliant with provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
New schedules are available in numerous locations.
