U Botches Bus Service, again

Attention Freshman: don't know when to skip class? or how much skipping is too much? You need BurdenShare.

BurdenShare is a revolutionary program designed by Transportation Services as a way to put the guess work back into skipping class. Simply follow the myriad of posted signs directing you to the Como & Raymond stop, or don't follow them, and you have an equal chance at missing your first class.

Sound too good to be true? It's not! I won an extra 30 minutes to collect my thoughts at the beautiful Como & Raymond bus stop resort. BurdenShare: it could happen to you!

A stitch in time saves nine!

Congratulations on the extra 30 minutes of alone time!

30 minutes is just ONE way savings. I'll get another 15 minutes this afternoon since my car is absolutely nowhere near the random bus stop today.

Does burdenshare provide online services? The Italian postal services needs their assistance.

Burdenshare is optimized for delays on the Minneapolis campus, but its principals can work world-wide. I'll get you in contact with an International BurdenShare representative today.

still waiting...guess those principles REALLY work!

I am glad that BurdenShare provides entertainment. The roulette-wheel chances of any possible bus stop make it exciting to watch the faces of the hapless riders. I look forward to what new stops are added and subtracted next week.

I was fugged over by the University of Minnesota's Transportation Services also. I like to think of it more as a slot machine than a roulette-wheel. You at least have decent odds with some roulette bets. There is no way to beat the slots or Italian Postal System.
