Zsareina Pouliot, 26, a graphic design major, said that she knew about the changes for a week. Pouliot rides the bus three times a week and said that the changes made in the routes have not yet affected her since it has been less than a week.

Bus route 24, which Pouliot usually takes, was affected, leaving her to look more often for other forms of transportation, like a bike or a ride from her boyfriend.

With the weekend line being eliminated from the 24 route, which is used by students attending Cal State Fullerton, some students are not going to be able to come to campus at all.

Durgabrasad Kottary, 25, an electrical engineering major, lives in Cerritos and said that due to the elimination of the number 24 weekend route, he is not going to be able to come to campus at all on the weekend.

Kottary also mentioned that because of the changes in the routes a lot of time is wasted; whether it’s waiting for the buses when you miss one, or waiting to catch a different bus.

“Time is money,” Kottary said. He thinks that even if he had to pay more for the buses to be frequent, he would not oppose it. “(The) bus stopping at 8 (p.m.) is an issue because if you have class that is late, that would be an issue because of the bus stopping early.”

OCTA will also be adding new routes and reconstructing some of their recent routes.
