Durham Region, Durham Collrgc/UOlT and the A)ax Pickering Transit Association all worked together early last year to crciitc a new route for students which starts in I'ickeriiig and goes through Ajax, U'hilby and Oshawa until it reaches the campus. A monthly pass, which costs $75, was introduced for this new route. The route itself was created in order to help students travelling to and from scliool, but there still seems to be a problem. During that four-hour gap when the bus doesn't go to tlie Ajax GO station, students are left relying on the driver getting to (lie closest stop on time or earlier so they can still have time to make tliat la-minute walk and catch tlieir oilier bus on time. Another problem with (lie Route 101 buses is dial there is an inaccurate schedule, which should have been improved this past sum- mer.
