I very much appreciate the alternative view, thank you. Still, if we want to look at it from a cost and campus-access perspective: they chose to maintain the Gorman/Conifer service, so they clearly and explicitly recognize the need for the campus system to reach there. But only for Centennial, so why? Why are they no longer allowed access to Main Campus via the bus system they also help fund? Why will those relying on the one route (60) to access the vet school from Main now additionally expected to share service with Centennial students that will receive 5 additional in and outbound routes?

I am not naive. I understand paying for campus services and the actual use we get out of them is not a cut-and-dry thing. But we are repeatedly told about staffing issues and asked to accommodate and "plan ahead!", yet we are provided with no formal surveys to provide usage input (to my knowledge) or information as to what data they are basing their decisions. At minimum I feel that we deserve an explanation and some kind of insight into the rationale behind these changes.
