I'm not a professional transit planner, but I think it would be smarter to not have the buses go through that way at all. Why can't they just come in off of Phillip Street and then out via Columbia (or Phillip again)? The access to Ring Road is a busy pedestrian area with a railroad crossing. A higher throughput would be good for transit, and the University would have their wish of fewer buses on Ring Road. The only downside is a lack of service to the west side of campus, but I think that is going to be a problem regardless.
