Update from the UPSU Team
An update from UPSU President, Helena Schofield:
I had a meeting with the Director of Estates and Campus services who communicated that it would not be financially viable to introduce a two way bus service without introducing a small daily charge to students. We are one of the only universities in the UK to run a free bus service. Following this meeting, we put out a survey asking students whether they would rather keep the bus service free and as it is, or pay a small fee and introduce another route. The results showed that around 70% would rather keep it free and the same route, so this campaign was ended.
