Why does UTS have the annoying habit of not running on reading day weekends?

<p>They could at least have hourly service or something. I'm currently trapped at the hospital bus stop (I transferred from 7) w 25 pounds of rice and 20 pounds of other groceries and I have no idea what to do. Im definitely not going to make the walk to my apartment. Should I just wait till midnight when Saferide starts?</p>

<p>(no one here can do anything about it of course , but I don't know why UTS assumes the entire OOS population has the money to go home on reading day weekends)</p>

<p>I’m totally with you. I’m instate but a couple of my friends and I stayed back to actually study (not going so well) and to hang out. One of my friends has work at Barracks and has to call a cab to take him there and back which kind of sucks.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t the university have busses during reading says, since you know, it’s called “reading days” and not “break days” like a lot of professors like to say.</p>

<p>Have you tried to contact them?</p>

<p>The #7 and #5 city buses serve most of Route 29 (almost every supermarket chain has a store on those lines) and your UVa ID gives you free access to those.</p>

<p>Can you use the free CTS trolley?</p>

<p>I did say I transferred from the 7. And I missed the last trolley by like 5 minutes because I was carrying so much groceries. (I got home because I madly messaged like every good acquaintance that was online on facebook through my phone.)</p>

<p>I agree with you that this is annoying. I remember last year I had to walk to Alderman from North Grounds to study.</p>

<p>It is probably because most of the students drivers want to go home.</p>

<p>I was in Cville Saturday over the Fall Break. It is was like the Rapture – everyone had disappeared, except the only people left behind were the international students.</p>
