-- Please help us petition the University to extend Penn Bus east of 20th St., to serve Center City Rittenhouse East. --
The Penn Bus of the University of Pennsylvania safely transports students to destinations close to their places of residence. East of the campus, towards Center City, the bus transports students only as far as 20th St. A large concentration of students lives east of 18th St., past Rittenhouse Square. For safety, weather, comfort, and convenience reasons, we are petitioning the school to extend the bus route east of 20th street, closer to the East Rittenhouse area.
-- This petition is only for students of the University of Pennsylvania --
The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to formalize our request for a meeting with the University transportation office. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines the specific safety gaps for students living east of 20th Street. Expect an update once I receive a response regarding a potential discussion on route extension.

YES PLEASE. Carrying books and groceries that extra distance is a nightmare.

SAFETY FIRST. Especially at night. 20th is way too far a walk when you are coming back from the library late.

Walking all the way to 20th in the rain or freezing cold is the worst. Please extend the route!

Finally someone said it. The current route ignores everyone living east of Rittenhouse and it is a pain.

it makes no sense that the bus stops so far from where we actually live. just keep going a few more blocks!
