Shuttle Begins Rugby Road Service

Bus Shuttle service will change its
route effective Monday, March 29, in the
hope of attracting more patrons.

The shuttle service, sponsored by the
Student Council, is carrying a growing
number of students, faculty and staff
members for ten cents a ride. However,
fraternity members have asked that the
system by changed in order to
accommodate the large number of students
in fraternities.

Since many of these students drive to
class, the shuttle is expected will remove the
parking pressure they create by following a
Rugby Road route.

The new route will no longer follow
Newcomb Road, nor will it pass by the West
parking lot of Scott Stadium, where few bus
riders have been parking.

The new route will instead depend entirely
on commuter parking at University Hall and
faster service to and from the Law
School-Cabell Hall area.

Under the new schedule, buses will leave
University Hall and the corner of 14th
Street-Grady Avenue on the hour and at
fifteen, thirty, and forty-five minutes after the
hour.

Buses will still run from Monday to Friday
from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The new route will run as follows:
University Hall; down Alderman Road; left
down McCormick Road; right under overpass,
down Emmet Street into Jefferson Park
Avenue; right down 14th Street; left down
Grady Avenue; left down Rugby Road; left
down University Avenue; right onto Jefferson
Park Avenue (at hospital) and return to
University Hall.

Patrons may signal the bus to stop anywhere
along the route. Specific stops are marked with
"bus shuttle" signs.
