Pullman, WA. Transit was GREAT.
During school hours main busses came by the main stops every 5-7 minutes during school hours; every 30 minutes until 2AM thereafter. You could get pretty much anywhere in the (albeit) small city with one transfer. All students paid $15 and got to ride as much as they wanted all year by just showing their school ID.
When I was in Tallahassee, the last bus out from the station to where I lived was at 6pm. If I missed it, I could catch a bus until 10pm to the hospital, which was at least a mile or two from where I lived. The routes sucked, as the majority of the routes served the downtown areas and there were very few buses that ran more than once every 40 minutes. Also, some routes were always 10 minutes late, and some were always 10 minutes early. If you were unlucky, the early one would be the connecting route to the late one that you’re on to get to the main station.
The on-campus buses weren’t so bad, but they were the transportation of choice for students too lazy to just walk across campus. Always packed to the gills with students, it was faster to just walk most of the time. The “safe bus” transit that they had after dark was not dependable at all. I worked as a nighttime dorm receptionist/security monkey for about nine months, and if your assigned dorm was across campus from the reporting station, you were screwed if you didn’t want to walk there in the dark and nobody on that side had a car to transport you. The reason? You could call at 9pm, 10pm, or 11pm to the Safe Bus station (inside campus police) and if the person answering the phones was too lazy, they’d just tell you that they were closed and hang up. The thing is, this service is supposed to be for any student within a mile radius of campus traveling to within a mile of campus until at least 3am. Why? There have been enough rapes, robberies, and people too drunk to drive getting hurt on and within a mile of campus to not provide the service.
