I agree that the routing of 92 is less than ideal for the general public. It looks mostly like they took the end of 7D/E and made it the University Loop. I agree that there will definitely be students who take the bus to get around to the other side of campus, and we are now losing this root that goes to other places that people want to go besides UW.
I'm only one person, but I have wanted to use the University Loop in the past. Since it has been a peak service only it does not fit my schedule. Now when it becomes a high frequency all-day service, it won't be useful to me either.
I do not agree with the economic argument, and I think that if you do the math you will find that students are not paying 26% of the cost, and that the students who pay and do not ride the bus mostly offset the discount that is enjoyed by those who do ride the bus.
