campus around 8:30 p.m. Sunday because of heavy flooding, but Tiger Trails was up and running at 7:30 a.m. Monday, save a few route changes because of road closures. “The only stops that [the buses] are not able to reach are the ones off Burbank-Ben Hur and Highland-Burbank by the Co-op Bookstore,” said a Tiger Trails representative.
