Letter: Lack of East-West buses causes students problems

As a senior at this school, I have seen many changes, but few as misguided as the decision to remove buses from the East-West line. Students are treated like herd animals at the stops waiting for buses. I personally have had to wait over 45 minutes to get on a bus simply because I would not disrespect my fellow students by pushing my way on to one. The crowds have become out-of-hand, and we need more buses on this line to alleviate the problem. The daily crowds grow to such large proportions with students pushing to make their way onto the bus so they will not be late for class that buses frequently hit students standing on the edge of the bus stop on the head and body.

We are left without a choice because if we do not push our way onto a bus, we miss a significant portion of class. Students who have classes on both campuses have just as much of a right to attend those classes as those who have their classes on the same campus. This problem is just another indication that this University does not care about its undergraduates. I sincerely hope the problem is alleviated before the need for a student movement is necessary. Please add buses to this line.
