Riding the bus for the first time was a great experience for me, I took the bus at Fayetteville State University all the way to the transfer center which was at Downtown Fayetteville. I wanted ride to all the time point so I had to take the bus again to its transfer point and then back to Fayetteville State University.

The bus was at the time point (FSU) at 11:40am and was not late, it was within the 5 minutes regulation. Also the operator was very friendly with riders who were riding the bus and yes she knew almost everybody that was on the bus. She conduct herself in a professional manner and even had to help some riders who were having problems inserting their money in the fare box. And honestly speaking I didn’t even know how to insert my pass, she was kind enough to help me and let me know that the next time I ride the bus, this is how I have to do things.

When discussing the notion that “Love can often lead to the creation of an ‘Outsider’." there are cases in our literary examples that would agree with the statement, and some that would not.

The proposed location in Cobb County lies between Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 and will provide multiple access points to the stadium. There are numerous highways and side roads that will alleviate traffic congestion before and after game time. The proposed track of land for the new stadium is approximately 60 acres.

The site will accommodate approximately 6,000 parking spaces and the mixed-use development will consists of shops, restaurants, bars, residences, offices, and hotels. The 60 acre complex is designed to keep the sports fan entertained for the entire day and not just for the game only. If additional parking is needed, there are approximately 30,000 parking spaces within close proximity to the proposed stadium location that will have circulator shuttle access.

The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great.

One solution for improving student transportation is offering a shuttle service. Although, UTSA already provides a shuttle service, it is limited to only two routes and can be unreliable. The transportation service at UTSA recommends waiting at the shuttle stop “30 to 45 minutes before your scheduled class time” (Business . . .).
