Problems of Transportation by Moath and Natalie

Dear Editor.

While studying at UCR for around a year, we have found the use of public transportation is not as efficient and safety as we thought. Since we are here, some of us have not seen a public bus at Moreno Valley, which is a place where a lot of students live, for example. Also, even if we want to know the city and its surrenders, it has been difficult to reach them.

Yesterday, we realized that this problem is very common among students at the university, especially for foreign students at UCR Extension Center. Consequently, students who cannot afford buying or renting a car are living limitedly. As an example, if one decides to buy a car, it is important to take into account getting the insurance which is very expensive and needs to be renewed every year. Moreover, the car will need maintenance which cost is high. Also, one has to spend for the gas and parking. So, as we see, it will take almost all of our bugged.

Finally, we want to share some ideas to improve the public transportation situation for students at UCR. First one, a new bus route for students, and second one, open a mail service for students to buy their own necessities. Sincerely, we wish you to support us and solve this problem as soon as possible.
