First Day of School, Year 6

[changeinwatrloo]

So, the school has implemented the new Watcard = Bus Pass system, which will save me about $100 this term. Am I happy about this? No. The buses are full when they arrive on campus, and being 20th in line, I was kind of angry when one person got off and only three got on

Seems to me one of the things FEDS had talked about was getting more frequent service to the school when this whole thing was to be passed. Perhaps someone should raise the question - where are they?

They added an additional 7 route and added buses to some other routes that students frequent, but they added nothing to the 12. To add to my frustration, of the the routes they added more buses to was the 8. The 8, both this and last term, carries far fewer people than the 12. After adding more buses the 8 is almost empty. Fortunately, after a month or so the 12 is not so crowded that I miss it, but still standing-room-only crowded with the drivers constantly asking people to move back, in line with how I remember all of the 7 routes.
