The announcement to cancel TX State inter-urban bus shuttle service from Fall 2013 will have a huge negative impact on the students & employees commuting from Austin, Kyle and San Antonio. This abrupt decision to completely shut down the bus service is unreasonable. Commuters have not been offered any alternate service. Presently the commuters pay a $4 fare per zone, one-way. So a bus fare from North Austin to San Marcos costs $12 one-way. Cost has been stated as the reason for this decision. Why has the administration not tried to reduce cost by eliminating the Saturday service or reducing service? Why has there been no consideration for the students/employees that require this service. Texas State transport administration must reconsider this decision to keep the access open to ALL students at Texas State University. Please sign this petition and send it to friends to sign this petition.


Petition will be submitted to the TX STATE PRESIDENT.

The TX State administration clearly underestimated how many people rely on this shuttle to get to class and work. This momentum proves they cannot simply ignore our needs for the sake of their budget sheet. We are going to make it impossible for them to look the other way.

BAD MOVE. Not everyone lives in San Marcos and we all pay enough tuition as it is. Keep the shuttle running.

How am I supposed to get to work now? Really unfair to the students and staff who rely on this daily. Rethink this decision ASAP.

This is ridiculous. I commute from Austin and this bus is the only way I can get to class on time without spending a fortune on gas. Do not cut this route.
