Parking is a nightmare. Not only is it expensive, it’s far away (and any lots that are even remotely close to where you’re going are completely full)
The lack of parking garages at the university is crazy. Raze all the surface lots and put things that are actually worthwhile on them. So much surface parking in such an urban area is ridiculous
There is an ION station and a bus terminal right there at the University. Why do you need to drive a car to get there?
That said I would love to take a bus or the Ion, but when it’s a 15 minute drive from my parents house to the nearest bus stop or a 25 min drive to the nearest LRT stop and only a 35-40 min drive to the university, taking transit doesn’t make much sense.
Alternatively I could pay $1000 a month to live in a shitty apartment next to the university but I’d rather be comfortable at home for free and pay the gas money instead.
