Bus blues

By Teresa Wood | February 7, 2005

She acknowledged that if it's a nice day outside or if "the bus is taking forever," she might be inclined to walk instead. Second-year Engineering student Zeke Fugate, however, finds himself walking most places he needs to go. "I don't remember the last time I rode a bus," he said.
