If a proposed city ordinance is enacted, students who enjoy the downtown bars will soon have another way to get home. Lianne Thomas has more in this Bobcat Update.

Current law prohibits taxicabs from parking and waiting for customers on the square, but the city is considering a possible change in hopes of providing a way home for patrons of the downtown bar scene. Texas State grad student Warren Keldsen says allowing more taxi-cabs downtown is a great idea.

Due to funding cuts at Texas State, a service called SWAT or Students with Alternative Transportation is no longer operating. Many students had previously used the service instead of catching a cab.
Hays County Constable David Peterson says bars in San Marcos are now open longer and drawing larger crowds. Peterson says the taxicab service would be beneficial.

A City Council meeting will take place in October at which the proposed change will be considered. For Bobcat Update, I'm Lianne Thomas.
