Huskie Buses!

The first few weeks of school I never really understood the bus system, but since then I believe I have mastered it. I have it down to such an art, that I know what time I need to get on each bus and where it takes me. Recently though, I've been extremely dissapointed with the bus system. I'll be waiting outside of my dorm (Grant North) for the 8:40 bus, and then it shows up and it's packed! There isn't even enough room to cram anyone else on. This has happened to me on numerous occasions, I've even tried taking the 8:30 and 8:50 busses, and still the same thing happens: they're packed. I then of course have had to walk to my class, and by that time am already running late. I feel that during the morning when students are more likely to take the bus, they should consider running more buses so that way all the students can use them. I know that the busses are funded by the student association, but honestly the huskie busses should have room to transport all NIU students no matter what.

I agree although the huskie buses are suppose to make you happy, they always end up doing the opposite. They let you down when you need them the most. NIU thinking about improving the bus line wouldn't be such a bad idea. That is one of the main transportation sources on the campus; unless you have a car. The huskie system is good and organized but I agree that more buses should be ran for the students benefit, especially when it starts to get really cold outside. No one wants to walk to their classes when its negative fifteen outside. THAT'S TOO COLD!!
