By Chad Lorenz Senior News Editor The only thing they don’t like is the . paint job. Aside from that, students seem to love the new shuttle bus that started running the perimeter route this semes ter. Tad McDowell, parking and tran sit services manager, said the new die sel-powered shuttle bus replaced one of the standard shuttles that had begun to break down. One of our older buses was just about done,” McDowell said. Although the older shuttles have only been used for five to six years, their inefficient gasoline engines cause them to wear out quickly, he said. Die new shuttle bus’s diesel engine will keep it on the road longer and re quire less repair, McDowell said. Michael Cacak, director of trans portation services, said the diesel en gine will keep the bus running smoothly. “Over the life of it, it’s going to have a better ride,” Cacak said. But to students, the best feature is additional space. Die new shuttle bus seats 32, whereas the old shuttle seated 28. Four seats may not seem like many, but commuter students on a below freezing January afternoon may be grateful they can pack in a few more. Besides, room for four more seats means room for eight more standing passengers. Die new shuttle bus’s box-shaped design, which makes it look more like a bus, also allows more space per per son. Die older shuttles, which look more like big, modified vans, were a tight fit. James Ferrante, a junior interna tional business major, said the new shuttle bus offered more head room, leg room and elbow room. “In the other one you’re hitting people in the head when you stand up,” he said. “This one you have room to stand and move.” Ryan Junck, a freshman political science major, said he liked the smooth ride and the new, classy interior. - Jennifer Fritzinger, a junior con sumer science major, said she appre ciated a more practical convenience— the handles ontop of the aisle seats for standees. “I’m so short, Iean’t reach the hand rail up there,” she said. / Cacak dispelled the myths that the new shuttle bus was larger than the older ones. The new bus has the same size wheel-base—distance from front to back wheels—as the older version. The new shuttle bus looks bigger because of its cab-over design where the top extends all the way to the front, he said. On the van-shaped shuttles, the engine juts in front of the cab, under the hood. That’s a plus for driver Jim Akin. The square, glass-enclosed cab gives him a clearer, safer view, he said. The cab also rides high, so Akin can look down at obstacles on the road. Other drivers have to peer opt of standard sized windshields and battle blind spots. Despite the shuttle bus’ slightly big ger size, Akin said the bus was easier to maneuver because of a shorter turn radius. “I can get in and out of places the other buses couldn’t,” Akin said. TTie controls are more convenient for Akin too, he said. The control for the flashing lights is on the floor, next to the brake pedal. The electric door opener saves Akin from having to tug on a lever every stop. Akin said the only complaint stu dents had so far was the outer aesthet ics —a red strip on the bottom fading to white on top. “I’ve heard they don’t like the paint.” Ryan Soderun/DN JIM AKIN, a UM. shettle bn driver; drives the perheeter mrte hi the aeiversity’s m slMrttle bn.
