@BattOpinion@TheBattOnline@Saanyalache students can and do run the system daily as successfully as allowed by traffic, and honestly if there is a piece to be written about this topic, it would be how college station is too car centric and should incorporate infrastructure to bolster public transportation.
@BattOpinion@TheBattOnline@Saanyalache hey! this piece is seeming uninformed and makes assumptions about the transit system that are not true. the main argument of the piece claims that the department is short staffed but thereโs no sources to back that up. it also claims that there are no drivers that 1/2
@BattOpinion@TheBattOnline@Saanyalache in addition, comparing our transit system to school busses is apples to oranges. a&mโs transit system operates continuous service nearly 20 out of the 24 hours in a day, whereas school busses drive one round of one route in the morning and evening, which even still can be lateโฆ
@BattOpinion@TheBattOnline@Saanyalache are outside hires, which also is not verified. publishing this without validating sources is harmful to the image of the transit system, which further pushes people to drive and park on campus creating more traffic, which is the true reason busses are delayed 99% of the time. 2/2
