The purpose of my proposal is to study all the requirements, including number, cost, locations, and schedule of the route thirty-six Texas A&M bus along with the student tendencies of riding the busses, in order to find a more efficient and effective solution for the bus routes.
Summary
Mr. Travis Sutton, English professor at Texas A&M University, assigned students in Technical Business Writing to study possible solutions to a problem at ones workplace or school.
As a student who relies on the busses everyday in order to get to and from class, it is clear that there are not enough busses running for certain routes in order to accommodate the number of students that rely on the busses in their every day lives. With the number of students attending Texas …show more content…

I take route thirty-six everyday to get to campus from The Cottages. Getting to campus is not a problem for me because the cottages is the first stop in the mornings, but the last two stops get passed by more often than not because the bus gets too full. Not only does the crowding take away from the students that get passed up, but it also causes students to be late to their classes because of the time wasted trying to squeeze a ridiculous amount of people onto a bus. I now have to give myself an hour to get to class, which is abnormal for living an approximate 5 minutes from campus. Not only is getting to class on time an issue because of the buses, but getting home after a class is even more difficult. The line for the buses to get home on route thirty-six is constantly backed up after classes let out. Students typically have to wait for two buses to come, or pack into the bus and stand uncomfortably for their ride
