Ticket to ride
Has anyone at Dalhousie noticed that our bill for this winter term now includes a mandatory fee for a fucking bus pass? If I wanted to use the bus I would have moved to Clayton Park and paid cheaper rent, but I decided to spend the big bucks and live fai

Dear Busted,FUCK YOU!!! First of all, you WERE told that Dal was implimenting the Bus-pass coming this January – MORE THAN ONCE. Second of all, I DO use the bus! EVERY FUCKING DAY! Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy a bus pass every month?! It’s nice that you’re willing to “spend the big bucks” and live close to campus, but there are some of us who can’t afford that. Like me. I live at home, in Dartmouth. I can’t afford to pay rent. I have a job, and a student loan. I depend on the bus to get around. If you’re so rolling in all this extra cash that allows you to live close to campus, you MUST have an extra $58 – a ONE TIME FEE for this bus pass. And I’m sure that there will be an occasion that you will use it. Because there is NO ONE who NEVER uses a bus/car to get around.
I agree with you man. I am not even a university student anymore and I think it’s ridiculous to make it MANDATORY to buy a buss pass. For those that use it great, it’s a sweet deal. For those that don’t it’s another fuckin’ nuisance and money grab from our so called educational system. Only the people that use them should have to pay for it mothafuckers!!!! It’s an excellent and much needed bonus for bus users. But, those students with cars or other means of transport should not HAVE TO pay for it. I would shred the bus pass
the bus pass was approved by a student wide referendum, so students were asked, and most of them wanted it. It was also very well publicized For those of you with cars – now you don’t have to bring them to school, pay for gas or pay for/worry about parking because you can take the bus.For those with bikes – now if you want to go further or travel with heavy loads around the city you can, and for an insanely low price.
busted,80% of your school’s student body voted in FAVOUR of the Upass.you pay an extra $100 for the Upass – big fucking deal.quit buying pizza every weekend for two months and you’ll save yourself that cash.fuck.i wish i had a upass.
