Revised Shuttle bus time table: Do you want to Keep it the same or Change it back?

The Free University shuttle bus service has been drastically changes from last year, with only one direct bus at the time of 8:30 leaving from Aigburth to Hope park. Last year service saw direct buses at 8:30, 10:30, 12.00 and 2:45 and these were suitable times to suit all who wanted to go to Hope park.  This year in order to use the shuttle bus service from Aigburth to Hope park after 8:30, students must first travel on the shuttle bus to the Creative campus, which then goes on to arrive at Hope park 50 minutes later at quarter past the hour. To avoid these delays students have to use 2 public buses, which is creating a financial burden to the students residing at Aigburth that they had not foreseen last year when choosing accommodation. Many Students situated at Aigburth campus are unhappy about the service on offer, as they were not consulted nor informed prior to the changes and would like the changes reconsidered. 

Come to the forum to share your experiences and thoughts about the new shuttle bus time table and decide what action the union takes.
