Hi Daria,

Thank you for your You Make Change submission.

Shuttle buses is indeed something that I have looked into this year. However, having spoken with the University's transport manager, the problem is that if we provided a free shuttle bus for students to NOCS we would have to do it for all Southampton sites and and would mean that Unilink would be put out of business which would in fact limit the availibility of transport and accessibility of the city. 

Having said this, I have suggested the idea of having student only buses at peak times or buses a limited number of U1C buses that provide a more direct route as you suggest. The University is open to these possibilities however unfortunately these changes would not be able to be implemented until the timetable change in September as it would cause too much network disruption otherwise.

I will continue to explore ways to improve this situation in the meantime. If you have any practical suggestions for how we can improve in the short term, please let me know and I would be more than happy to feed this back to the University. My email is vpcommunities@susu.org

All the best,

Emily Harrison
