Rutgers fix for its overcrowded busing mess does not include more buses

[Tango Two]

"Students have to get on those buses sometimes two, three, four times a day to get where they are going," said Barchi, the latest president hoping to the alleviate the decades-old problem that causes daily headache for students.

But rather than adding more routes to address it longstanding busing mess, Rutgers is taking a different approach this fall. It's attempting to reduce student need for the bus system, Barchi said.

Tango,
I read somewhere that Rutgers is also going to offer students the chance to attend classes by teleconference ( some law classes are already doing that).

Fun fact, from a Rutgers student: It's not working.

Right now they only do that between campuses in different cities (i.e. Newark and Camden...I think they view the NB campus as all five for those purposes). Thus I don't think they're going to be able to do that between say Livingston and Douglass. It requires multiple classrooms at same time and some very cool technology (it's actually called the Holodeck at the law schools).
