Linn-Benton Loop Bus Schedule

If the bus is to serve students, there should be more convenient bus schedule.

In the beginning of the fall term, all the seats on the bus were taken that some students had to stand. Yet school was urging students to use transportation due to lack of parking lots. Then why the bus doesn't run frequently at least every half an hour. Beside,s it'll be much nicer for students who take night classes if the bus runs until 9 or 10 p.m.

Last term, I had a class that ended at 4:20 p.m. The latest bus came at 4:15 p.m., so I had to wait for the next bus scheduled at 5:50 p.m.

I couldn't appreciate the fact that I had to wait for more than an hour and a half, because I wanted to go home!

Also, to make it to 10 o'clock class, I need to take a bus at 8:35 a.m because it usually takes 20 minutes from Corvallis. Taking 9:40 a.m. bus will be late for class.

Worse yet, ever since I started taking Linn-Benton Loop, the bus never arrived school on time. At least in the early morning. It's late for 10 minutes the minimum and 20 minutes the maximum. Once it was 40 minutes late!

"The bus must be on time. The hours are messed up," said Emmanuel Bernal who rides the bus everyday.

"It's irritating when the bus is running late, because that means I'll be late for class."

Some students have been late for class for 35 minutes. Frustrated students left the bus stop to get a ride so that they could make it to class.

Students of night classes can't ride the because the last bus arrives at 5:50 p.m. The latest class ends around 9:30 p.m.

It's been hectic even for students who are dual-enrolled at OSU.

"Because of inflexible bus schedule, some students can't take the bus that fits their school schedule," said  Aya Tabeya who had been dual-enrolled.

If the transportation is meant to be useful and helpful, it should be reviewed in order to provide a better service.
