Enhancing Student Transit: Recommendations for Improved Ridership on Citibus

The Citibus system at Texas Tech University faces challenges in accommodating student ridership, leading to overcrowded buses and longer travel times. A recent analysis suggests increasing student fees to fund more buses and routes, enhancing reliability and reducing travel stress. A focus group and survey revealed that commuting students want more accessible transit options alongside benefits such as saving money on gas and car maintenance. This report outlines proposed solutions aimed at improving campus transit to better serve all students, particularly those without private vehicles.
