Audrey Seifert

Many Bobcats who commute are spinning their wheels and burning holes in their pockets this semester, and Bobcat Update's Audrey Seifert sigh-fert)has discovered that the university may be partly to blame.

Last April, the University cancelled its interurban tram systems running to San Antonio and Austin, citing high costs as the reason. School officials said at the time that the buses used for the service would be used instead on other routes where the demand was greater. After almost a year later since the cancellation, some students are thinking the change is inconvenient and unhelpful. They find themselves circling the parking lots to find a space or cramming together in the residential buses. San Marcos students, like Katie ??, say getting to class is often a frustrating experience.

San Antonio and Austin commuters also feel the strain. The commute now costs more -- to pay for gas and for a parking permit. And when the commuters arrive, they're not assured of finding a place to park.

As the spring semester kicks off, commuters can only hope something is done to correct the issue soon. For Bobcat Update, I'm Audrey Seifert.
