Late Sunday evening, numerous students gathered at the bus stop and braved the cold to catch a bus. Only no bus came.
A vain attempt to contact SafeRides revealed that they too were not providing transportation due to inclement weather. With no other option, many students were forced to walk back on icy sidewalks to either Central or East campuses, which is not recommended due to safety concerns at night.
How is it students are not provided with reliable bus transportation or adequate notice of terminated bus service (besides the notice posted on the hard-to-find campus services site)? This is a serious failure on Duke’s part to guarantee to both students and parents that student safety is of utmost concern on campus.
