Bus service added for 69传媒students writing exams Sunday, April 19

| Students

T3 Trius Transit has added a one-time bus service on Sunday, April 19 to assist students writing exams at the 69传媒. University Avenue Express route (#1), that travels between the Confederation Centre of the Arts and the Charlottetown Mall, will operate from 8:00 am to 10:30 pm, following the Saturday schedule.

Buses will leave the Confederation Centre every half hour at the top and bottom of the hour, and leave the Charlottetown Mall every 30 minutes, at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour, with stops at 69传媒both ways.

Earlier this year, 69传媒extended the number of teaching days in the semester due to the number of storm closures, which resulted in a compressed exam period and some exams being scheduled on Sunday, not a normal practice.

Mike Cassidy, President of T3 Trius Transit said, 'When the 69传媒administration and Student Union approached me to see if we could accommodate this need, I was only too happy to help out to alleviate some stress for students who are focused on exams.'

'We realized that, with the adjusted schedule, some students might face difficulty in securing transportation to campus on Sunday,' added Jackie Podger, UPEI's Vice-President Administration and Finance. '69传媒thanks Mike for helping us address this challenge by adding the Sunday bus service.'

'Students don't need the added pressure of finding a way to get to campus during the exam period,' commented 69传媒Student Union President Lucas MacArthur. 'The Student Union applauds 69传媒and T3 Transit in coming up with a solution!'
