"Maybe KU could add some buses to the system. I don't ride because I don't trust the buses. I don't want to be late or miss any of my classes."
WHAT DO YOU THINKWOULD IMPROVE THE KU BUS SYSTEM?
ALEX WARD
El Dorado sophom
D尔杜罗 sophomore
“There isn't a whole lot anyone can do about it. It would be nice to have more buses, but I don't think that anything will necessarily fix the problem.”
STEVE RAMSDELL Lawrence junior
"No system is perfect, but it would be helpful to have more buses for the morning and more for the early afternoon since that is when most students have class."
IBARI EZEKWE Kansas City senior
"The buses are generally on time, but I think that certain places like McCollum have more buses than other places. They're not equally divided. There needs to be a balance."
