Input From the Transportation Services

Questions for Improvement to Parking & Transportation Services at University of Colorado-Boulder:

   

      We looked into the Parking and Transportation Services at the University to get more input on what improvements they are trying to make on the Buff Bus. We had a conversation with the director, Bryan Flansburg, of the Parking and Transportation Services at CU-Boulder.

1)    1) After talking to some students who have lived or live in Willville and who use the Buff Bus as a means of transportation, a lot of them are having issues with the tardiness of the bus, is this something that the Buff bus is trying to make improvements on?

  Yes, we are definitely trying to improve the bus’s tardiness because a lot of students are having issues with getting to class on time. In fact, we have already made major improvements, such as, moving the bus stops to more convenient areas so that it does not delay traffic and having at least 2-3 buses running all day long, sometimes depending, even more.

2)     2) Do you think you will be working on a more fitting and concrete schedule for students to depend on in the near future?

Obviously, having a set to go schedule is very challenging, but we are trying to improve on arriving and departing the bus stops on time. Sometimes it is hard to help the students when the buses are waiting for later students to arrive at the bus stop, but improvements do need to be made. Hopefully, in the near future we will have a fit and set schedule rather than having the students assume that the bus will come every 10-15 minutes.
