The Car Issue

<p>^yeah you probably wont. why do you need a car so bad?</p>

<p>LA is an urban city...which means good mass transist...so you don't need a car</p>

good mass transit

if you say so :rolleyes:</p>

<p>^^ yea it's pretty good....relative to where I live...and US isn't exactly known for its excellent mass transist systems anyway</p>

<p>namaste, I will need a car because I'll have to be driving to and from campus each day. I may also have a job so it will be more of an inconvenience.</p>

<p>Well if you're living off campus, that's a different story. You'll get a lot more need points.</p>

<p>I sure hope so. Judging by the point calculator on the transportation website, an undergraduate commuter gets 10 points and I would get 6 based upon my location. From what I saw, 6 is the lowest amount (compared to 10-14 for other locations). I am just worried because if I cannot find parking, I have no other means of transportation and it would be extremely inconvenient for me.</p>

<p>Well you said you might work right? Someone told me you're almost guaranteed a spot if you work off campus.</p>

<p>What if I do not work?</p>

<ul>
<li>Members must ride together at least three days per week, Monday through Friday. </li>
</ul>

<p>how do they check that requirement?</p>

<p>nocloud: When you sign up for the permit, UCLA makes an appointment with you for a visit. During the visit they plant a RFID chip in your arm...very small, no pain during insertion. Using that they track if you are actually following the rules or not. Personally, I don't think it's worth it.</p>

<p>I heard it was 2 RF chips, and that they hurt a lot. And if they find out you're not following their rules, flesh-eating beetles come out of the RF chips and start, well, eating flesh.</p>

<p>haha.. oh wow.</p>
