The Texas State bus service to-and-from San Antonio and Austin has ended, leaving many students scrambling to find other ways to get to campus. Jordan Gass (GAWS) Poore' (POOR-ay) has more in this Bobcat Update.

For those who live out of town and DON'T have a car, it can be a challenge to find transportation to San Marcos.

Palomo's decision to attend Texas State for graduate school was partially based on the university's bus service, which had been in operation in the Alamo City since August of 2006. 
The service allowed him to commute from San Antonio, where he says he has family and can find affordable housing. That is, until last semester, when word got out about commuter bus service being discontinued.

The Texas A-and-M University Transportation Institute conducted a review of Texas State's transportation services. Its campus-wide survey results concluded that only four-point-one-percent of all Bobcat Tram System riders used the commuter service.

Alternatives to the Texas State bus service include the Capital Area Rural Transportation System, or CARTS, to Austin, and Amtrak and Greyhound to San Antonio and Austin. These services are located at San Marcos Station off Guadalupe Street in San Marcos. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jordan Gass-Poore'.
