Shuttle service increase helpful to students
It may have been the ‘loser cruiser’ in high school, but the bus is now a tremendous convenience to students with and without cars. So we were pleased to learn that Friday and Saturday shuttle service to the Rice Village is being expanded to run from 5:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.
This expansion will allow students to enjoy a late meal — or even nightlife — in the Village without having to hurry to catch the 10:15 p.m. bus or make the dark trek back to campus on foot.
A viable shuttle system is essential to counterbalance an eventual parking squeeze, as well as to keep students without cars engaged in off-campus life. So we hope students will make the transportation department’s change worthwhile by making frequent use of the extended shuttle hours, and we hope the transportation department will continue to assess and respond to student needs this well.
