“There’s an expectation that when I arrive to the bus stop, the bus should be there,” Robison said. “It’s impacted our schedule and routing — we’ve detoured quite a bit.”

Five bus routes are detoured, including Route 20, serving South Harrison Road to Jolly Road.

“In weather like this, it’s possible that there are delays, and they’re uncontrollable — acts of God and other people,” Robison said.

Students upset with delays and full busses have complained on “CATA”:http://cata.org/’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.

“Please be patient and understanding with us,” she said. “We’re trying to do our best. There are extra busses on campus to adjust to the increased rates of people.”

Psychology and philosophy senior Chandana Guntupalli said she was late about five minutes for class due to delays on Wednesday.

“The busses seem to be late and slow, typically five to seven minutes later,” Guntupalli said. “I get cold, and anxious (wondering) if I will get to class on time.

Some other students are avoiding the busses, the drive and the walk to class. They bike instead.

International relations senior Andrew Stinavage bikes around campus, bumping about on divots in the hard-packed snow.

“It’s ridiculous out there,” Stinavage said. “You put your life in your hands — bikes can freeze up and brakes can go bad. It’s almost surprising how few sidewalks are plowed.”

Stinavage has been biking for the past four winters, but it hasn’t always been smooth.

“Last year I completely wiped out on the corner of Elizabeth and MAC,” Stinavage said. “I took the corner too fast. It was kind of comical — whomp!”
