Blue Jay Shuttle routes released for this year
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on changes to the Blue Jay Shuttle routes and related transportation plans.
- The paper reported that new routes took effect Aug. 18, with five routes operating and major changes to all except the Blue Route; the 33rd Street Connector was discontinued and most of its stops moved to the Green Route.
- The article adds that the Green Route gained stops near Nakwon and Be-One, while some stops moved to Night Ride service; the Red Route added a stop at University One Apartments, and the Pink Route gained several St. Paul Street stops while losing others.
- The reporter writes that the Saturday Hampden Shuttle added a Giant stop beginning Sept. 6, the Carey Business School Shuttle began daytime service between Mason Hall and International Drive, and the Night Ride system otherwise remained largely unchanged.
- According to the article, the changes were intended to improve student safety and were based on earlier stop-use studies; SGA executive secretary Adelaide Morphett said they reflected students’ needs.
- The paper reported that transportation officials were considering adding recent graduates to the Board of Transportation and bringing the Charm City Circulator to Homewood, while students had asked for wider shuttle coverage and all-night Night Ride service.
