Hello,
I'm going to discuss about transportation around UH Hilo for essay4 (A letter of proposal).
It is almost a month sine I came to UH Hilo, and I have a problem with transportation in here.
It is my first time to come Hilo, and I'm not familiar with this area at all. I don't have both a car and bicycle, also my roommates don't have their car. So, only transportation are bus and taxi for students like me.
I was so surprised that using the bus is inconvenient. The bus timetable is irregular intervals, and there is no bus service at 5:30 am to 7:00am and after 9pm and Sunday. Now, I have a flexible time during summer session because I'm taking only one class; however, it will be difficult to accommodate bus schedule in regular semester. Because students usually busy during regular semester: taking several courses, group discussion outside the class, belongs to a club, working, etc. Also, bus service on Sunday is needed because only weekend students have a time to go out. I could not go anywhere on Sunday because of transportation in the past few weeks. I'd like to propose improvement of transportation around UH Hilo: bus timetable and date, increase a bus stop and transportation by UH Hilo.
My idea "transportation by UH Hilo" is university offer vans (or shuttle) for students at least in the weekend.
University's vans take students to Prince Kuhio Praza or Downtown from UH Hilo. It is like a tour, university appoint time for depart from UH Hilo and return to UH Hilo from Prince Kuhio Praza or Downtown.
Do you think transportation around UH Hilo is inconvenient for students? Why or why not?
Do you use the bus or taxi? If you have had problems (related to transportation) please let me know.
I greatly appreciate if you could post messages to my blog.
Thank you so much!!
