The new late-night shuttle is in full swing, and students are loving it. This past Wednesday night the new late shuttle, which runs seven days a week from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., picked up a total of 18 students from the Gables and West Edge in its first hour of operation. According to Dirk Timmons, director of Parking Services, students have been working the late shift to drive the shuttle. He added that there was no need for new drivers to be hired because students signed up quickly for the late hours.
Students are happy to see the shuttle making late-night runs.
Junior Sarah Blackburn, who lives near Mast Lot, said she was relieved when the shuttle service was extended. Chris Clifford, a resident assistant in Randall Hall, said she likes the idea of a shuttle, but thinks the university should lift the winter parking ban so they don't need to pay for a late-night shuttle. According to junior Alice DeCicco, last year students proposed alternatives to Parking Services regarding the parking ban, but never heard back from them. If a storm is coming then we can all move our cars. We are responsible enough to pull this off.
