Cal State Long Beach shuttle service

Many students at Cal State Long Beach will admit that parking used to be a major problem on campus. But opening Parking Structure 3 eased the problem.

Now, however, a major problem that has surfaced is campus shuttle overcrowding.

"I take the shuttles everyday near parking structure 3, and usually they're packed full," CSULB junior Marrissa Carne said. "I can't remember a time when they weren't."

The CSULB shuttle service has routes throughout campus and is a major source of transportation for many students.

According to Mark Rudometkin, interim general manager for Parking and Transportation Services (PTS), the cause for the overcrowding is result of Parking Structure 3 opening on the east side of campus.

There have been plans implemented to correct the problem such as eliminating the amount of stops the shuttles take. But PTS is searching for a better way to reduce the overcrowding.
