Motion: Better Bus Services

Motion: Better Bus Services

This Union Notes:

1. That during peak times, not all students are able to use the free cross-campus bus service.
2. That the peak times for students using this service are September/October and January through to April.
3. There are no permanent bus time tables available at designated bus stops for this service.

This Union Believes:

1. All students are entitled to the free cross-campus bus service
2. The free bus service is essential to a lot of Northumbria students
3. Due to difficulties with the free bus, more students are driving to University which has a direct impact on the car parking at Coach Lane.

This Union Resolves:

1. For the Students’ Union to lobby the University into providing bigger or more busses during peak travel times for our students.
2. To mandate the Vice-President Academic Affairs and Vice-President Welfare and Equality to look into the possibility of placing permanent bus time tables upon designated bus stops.
