LETTER: Aggie Shuttle, step it up

Editor,

Does anyone find it humorous that a student can take a leisurely stroll from the Aggie Ice Cream parking lot to Old Main faster than if they had parked at the stadium and rode the shuttle? This should sound familiar to the dozens and dozens of shuttle riders who are late to class at least at 8:30 in the morning on our Monday, Wednesday, Friday class schedule.

You arrive at the parking lot a full 20 minutes before class only to look around and realize that the chances you are going to squeeze onto the bus are pretty dismal. What can you do? You wait for what seems to be the only bus making the rounds to return. When you finally walk into class 10 minutes late, you can’t help but think that you could have been to class on time, if only you had walked.

Come on Aggie Shuttle. Get it together. So much for the better alternative for campus parking.
