    While I do see and understand your point, let me just say: I would not mind paying $1.50 to catch the shuttle bus. Personally, my choice for it is not because it’s free, not even because its closer to the school (it’s inside, what more can we ask for?), it’s the security issue.

    I don’t know the rest of you, but when I leave my class at 10 pm, 1 or even 2 minutes late mean that I might as well miss route 10, and not even the mini buses come as often as we’d like. After around 3 pm route 10 becomes increasingly unreliable (I’ve been under snow and waited for a bus an hour and a half, until one of the mini buses went by and still no sign of route 10). On top of that, NJCU’s bus stop doesn’t have so much as a canopy to hide under in case of rain and the area isn’t exactly peaceful after nightfall. This semester I waited 40 minutes for a bus, after I left school at 10pm on a friday. I waited for any bus, (no money for a cab) with no one on sight and for the life of me, I was ready to run into traffic at the first sign of someone so much as talking to me. I know of people who have been mugged in the school’s surroundings, and I wouldn’t like to be in the statistics.

    Bottomline: I wouldn’t mind paying for a school shuttle anytime after 8.30 pm, when NJCU’s surroundings get creepy.

    The shuttle isn’t free. It’s paid for via student fees. The biggest problem is the unreliability of the journal square shuttle not it’s unavailability. The schedule is not consistently followed. Also, the skyway is closing soon and many more students will be commuting as encouraged by the university. An additional shuttle will definitely be needed.
