N-n-n-n-nonsense
Uh oh. Endorsements. Why is the Class Pass good? These people sure don't know.
Editorial:
In fact, all this bang for the buck means higher efficiency and better services for students. With so many improvements, even those who don't take advantage of the Class Pass will be more likely board a bus. It's only fair that students shoulder some of the burden.
Uh... yeah... that's why they pay their $1.75 when they ride the bus, rather than paying in advance a certain amount, regardless of how much each person rides the bus, if at all. It seems that the "per ride" or "determined by individuals" concepts are far more "fair" than the Class Pass.
Even if you don't care for these improvements, the Class Pass still can't be beat. Let's do a little math. Say you ride the bus often enough to warrant buying a 31-day ticket. That's $70 for one month, which means you would pay about $210 per semester for the same service. That's a far cry from a $60 semester-long bus pass.
Now, say you don't ride the bus often enough to warrant buying a 31-day ticket. Say you don't ride the bus more than once a week or so. Should we do a little math? Do we need to point out the obvious? Yes, yes we do. This is The Daily Cal.
Some Greeny has more. Let's look at some of the benefits:
Lowering overall cost of transportation for public transportation users at the university
Also raising overall cost of transportation for foot/bicycle users at the university.
A chance to win an iPod by voting next week!
You can get this chance by voting no. Actually, you can get this chance by voting "Abstain."
