TCAT Route Changes Don't Affect Students

I spent a few minutes trying to decipher the route changes approved yesterday by the TCAT board of directors. The Journal has basically no coverage of this and the Sun is done printing for the semester, so this might be an exclusive story...

Anyway, Cornell students won't be affected too much by the changes. The #10 bus, which goes between Central Campus and the Commons all day, is unchanged. The board initially wanted to switch the routes of the #30 and #32 buses through Cayuga Heights, sending the #30 on Triphammer and the #32 on Highland, but relented after public opposition. The #30 will no longer stop at the mall after the mall has closed for the night. (Makes sense, right?) The #30 will also follow its normal route on weekends, as opposed to its current weekend route which bypasses my house.

In a welcome move for those of us who enjoy drinking in Collegetown and catching a bus back to North, TCAT is adding more "drunk" buses. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, there will be a bus departing every 15 minutes from the Schwartz Center to head back to West and North.

If you're motivated, you can sort through all the versions of route changes here and try to make sense of what they actually approved yesterday.
