10E - The Michigan Daily - New Student Edition - September 3, 1996 Getting xA2 not By Nathan Huebner Daily Staff Reporter When arriving on campus each fall, new students quickly find transportation is a little different than in high school. Instead of driving everywhere they want to go, most students are forced to find other ways to travel around campus and Ann Arbor Most University students walk to class- es and many rely on the public transporta- tion system to travel around Ann Arbor. Getting around central campus is fairly easy, since most destinations are within walking distance. Many students choose to speed up their trips, however, by in-line skating or riding their bikes. "It's definitely easier to get around campus if you have a bike," said Diana Ricotta, a Music graduate student. Nearly every campus building has bike racks outside where students can lock up their bikes at no charge. The Department of Public Safety rec- ommends that students use a "U-lock" to secure their bikes because thefts occur quite frequently. Students are also advised to make sure that, in addition to the bar of the bike, they secure their front tire to the rack, as these are often stolen. Traveling between North Campus and Central Campus is made easier by Uni- versity buses that run regularly through- out the day.

There is also a stop on Washtenaw Avenue near Couzens Residence Hall. Going anywhere off-campus can be a little more difficult but students say they generally think it is not too bad. "You can pretty much go anywhere you want," said Jeanne Cho, an LSA junior. The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority provides the city with buses that stop at more than 1,200 stops around town. One of the most popular bus stops for students is in front of the Michigan Union. Buses stop there once an hour from about 6:45 a.m. until 10:15 p.m. on weekdays and from about 8 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on weekends. A one-way fare in Ann Arbor is 75 cents.
