Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although Atlanta’s public transportation makes inner-city travel pretty easy, most students that come from larger cities agree that the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) system could stand for some huge improvements. The MARTA transit system is convenient for college students who need rides to places like the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the major shopping malls, the downtown area, or any other place that is in the Central Atlanta region. The major complaints about the MARTA system are that it doesn’t cover enough places, deprived people are always begging for money, and the accessibility is not up to public transportation standards. Atlanta’s highways can be a nightmare because of the extreme rush-hour traffic.

The city of Atlanta doesn’t seem to be making any efforts to subside these transportation issues, but luckily, freshman students don’t have many places to venture. The escort buses run from early in the morning to late at night and accommodate only students with proper AUC identification. Freshman students are prohibited from bringing cars, but that rule is hardly ever enforced. When freshman students decide to disregard the school’s no-car policy, the only thing that they truly have to worry about is obtaining a parking permit (which can be pretty easy to obtain). Atlanta can be a very confusing city, so if students choose to bring automobiles, they are advised by local officials to drive safely.

Clark Atlanta shuttle services do not run on the weekends like they do on the weekdays. Some shuttle bus drivers have been very rude and some do not wait for all students to get on the shuttle.

THE WOODRUFF SHUTTLE

The most helpful thing contributes to CAU is the Woodruff Library Shuttle. The shuttle gets the entire AUC students to local malls, train stations, and other schools in the AUC. The shuttle is absolutely free. All we have to have is our valid ID. The shuttle has about 20 stops and the drivers make it to very stop every 15 minutes.
