"A lot of students were complaining about buses that were too full to stoo and Dick them up. Some students had to wait for half an hour before a bus would come by," Baker said. Parking officials thought an express bus would alleviate the over-crowding during "rush hours" and still allow maintenance and operating costs to be kept to a minimum, Baker said. Handy Graham, Shuttle Service - udent oordinator, said response to the express misis been "tremendous" so far.
