Shark Speak: What do you think of transportation on campus?

“The Shark Shuttle is unreliable, slow and inconvenient. It is useful for events and stuff like Homecoming. It was nice to have the option of not having to drive and worry about parking, when there is a line of Shark Shuttles waiting taking people by the busload. Then it’s fine.”

“It’s not too bad. I mean, sometimes the app doesn’t really sync up with the actual arrival times, but overall it’s not too bad.”

“I think the Shark Shuttle is alright. It’s pretty cool. My only issue I have with it is that occasionally it’s hard to track. I have the next bus app, and sometimes it doesn’t know where the buses are and I need to be somewhere, but other than that once you’re on the bus, it’s fine.”

“I think it is very reliable in terms of time. The drivers are really nice. If I need them to pick me up in front of my house, I can just wave to them and they’ll pull over. They’re very nice. They know me by name.”

“The Shark Shuttle is kind of unreliable. Nobody knows when it’s going to pass by and it takes them a long while to go all the way back around. It does help out sometimes, but for the most part, I think it’s unreliable.”

“It’s OK, but it can be better. Some of the Shark Shuttle drivers are not reliable. They would tell you that another driver is coming later, but they don’t.”
