Plus, the dolts that do drive may actually get a brain and take the bus :)... I remember a few people complaining about the bus fair but by-and-large people really appreciated it. $11/month for bus fair is nothing... and think about the amount of fuel, money and health problems they'd save by not driving :)! They tried to get the grad students the same deal but UWO is too stupid and provides far too much parking (too many grad students are too rich and drive) -- dig up those parking lots and plant a few trees.
