system have decreased since the se-
mester began, NT Assistant Police
Chief Nancy Estes said Monday.
After a story in the Sept. 16 issue of
The Daily indicated that students were
having to wait 20 minutes between
buses, the NT police looked into the
problem, Estes said.

stop and the bus was full, the bus had
to go on and you might not get the next
one until 10 minutes later. So it was a
20-minute wait for you as a rider, but
not actually a 20-minute wait between
buses.”
Generally, during the first few
weeks of school, a lot of people arrive
at the same time, right before their
classes, and expect to use the shuttle
