So… it’s October, where’s our shuttle GPS, ASG? Would it be unfair to say, ASG, that you have lost credibility with your deadlines?

Shuttle GPS will be implemented in September! Student Affairs approved it May 1st.

What happened to the GPS locating system for the shuttles? That’s the thing everyone’s been waiting for. Why even run multiple routes if no one uses them? Make one route work well. We need the GPS locators.

I hope you and the rest of ASG got my suggestion to name one of the shuttles Fruit Loop (as there are lots of lovely fruits at NU) and the midnight one Douchebaggery Express, in honor of the midnight email sent out by Mo. I mean, Mo’s your friend. He wrote the email sort of in your support, so the least you could do is name a shuttle after him.
Seriously, Campus Loop is a dumb name. FRUIT LOOP. FRUIT LOOP. Please Mike Please. I like totally complimented you one time when you were standing near the Arch during elections. Now return the favor and name the shuttle Fruit Loop.

Hi Emily,

Instead of a “North-South Shuttle” for next fall, which is not feasible due to the current financial climate, we decided to change our current shuttle routes so that no matter what shuttle you take, it will at least go North and South on Sheridan and hit the Arch, the Jacobs Center, and Tech. We could only propose changes that would not increase the budget, so we had to be innovative in what we did.

Instead of creating one new shuttle to run up and down Sheridan (once again, no money there), we have proposed a system where multiple shuttles take students up and down Sheridan. Cost effective and more efficient.

If you would like more information please email me at (michaelmcgee@u.northwestern.edu) or Tommy Smithburg (tsmithburg@gmail.com).

THERE NEEDS TO BE A NORTH-SOUTH SHUTTLE THAT RUNS 8 A.M. TO 10 P.M.

there needs to be a shuttle that runs down sheridan! the route does from noyes, but it goes north from noyes and sherman, so you have to walk out to sheridan. if you want to go south from north off campus apartments there basically aren’t shuttles available. if the shuttle system worked better i’d use safe ride a whole lot less.

The shuttle always ran through campus drive, demand dropped in part because of the construction there the past two years. Once that is finished in fall quarter it will probably jump up again, in addition to the helpful changes we’ve suggested.
