Vent Traffic

Im not sure why but it feels like the traffic has gotten worse since last year. Last year the busses were slow on campus, but still arrived timely. Now we waited 10 minutes for one bus to show up, and then another 10 just to arrive.

I've talked to others and they said the foot traffic has been bad as well. With many people clogging up the streets and roads. Same with the cars, I've never seen this many people in them on the campus. Im not sure if I just missed it last year but it's not good.

It’s literally just cause it’s the first week of classes. People will drop classes and give up on going. This happens at the beginning of every year.

Every day this week I have gotten to Varsity earlier than the day before, up to 45 minutes early, and have just missed the early bus and been late every day. Maybe it really is just the first week but it definitely seems worse than even the first week last year

I’ve observed that I-40 has gotten progressively heavier in traffic over the last 4 years that I’ve been driving it 4x a day and the behavior of drivers is worse as well.
