LBCC shuttle bus schedule needs to be more accommodating

The Long Beach City College shuttle bus system needs to be more accessible for students who take classes outside of Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours. The Viking Voyager is also closed from 1 to 2 p.m.

Many LBCC students use public transportation, so this poses a serious concern of being unable to get to class on time.

According to the shuttle schedule, there are two buses with arrivals between campuses every thirty minutes.

Despite there being two buses, both buses take a lunch break from 1-2 p.m.

This issue can be resolved by requiring that at least one bus moves between campuses instead of having both on standby for the same hour. 

There’s also an issue for students being on time who may rely on the shuttle before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. to get between campus, as they cannot expect to be accommodated. 

An hour is underestimating students’ ability to arrive early or on time, as this does not account for traffic and late arrivals. 

The limitations of the shuttle schedule has affected students who need it the most. 

It is very inconvenient for students who may need to get to the other campus for classes or any sort of other meeting. 

LBCC needs to adjust the schedule to allow students to get the most out of their education, without having to worry about missing the bus.

Little tweaks in the schedule of the shuttle bus can better help students be on time. 

These are things that need to be done and acted on right now as students will continue to be affected by the difficult bus shuttle.
