A number of students stated they felt transportation was a barrier to attending campus. The majority of these students stated that the cost of transport was a major barrier in particular. Some of these students requested the university offer subsidised or free public transport.

“Make a better price agreement with bus companies. And a more regular bus service with the U3.”

“SUBU would have to take initiative to lower the Unibus fare for BU students”

“Provide free bus for students”

“Sort out parking for students that live over 10 miles away. I have to drive over an hour to get to uni already and the park 15 mins away at Lansdowne. There’s often no parking around so I have to park further and it makes attendance impossible sometimes as I’m driving around looking for parking.”
