February 21, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Essence Dennis |Staff Writer| The issues within the city of San Bernardino were discussed at the city council meeting held on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Important topics presented at the council meeting were the city’s bankruptcy, Omnitrans, and San Bernardino’s new mayor. Carey Davis, who was elected new mayor of San Bernardino on Feb. 4, was the topic of some discussion during the meeting. “I don’t think voting for a new mayor is a good idea because of all the money troubles we’ve had so far,” said student Monica Pham-Luu. His inauguration will be held on March 3, 2014, but until then he will continue working half days at his job at Hehr International before transitioning to … [Read more...] about New mayor reviews state of SB

January 24, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Courtney Mata |Staff Writer| Omnitrans is creating a new $191.7 million sbX transit line that will create faster transportation. According to The Press Enterprise, “About a third of the route has bus-only lanes, and there will be an average of one stop every mile. That along with signals from the buses to turn traffic lights green, will cut travel time from Cal State to the VA hospital from 64 minutes on a regular bus to 39 minutes. Buses will pick up passengers at stations every 10 to 15 minutes.” The new sbX is intended to encourage residents and students to take the bus instead of drive. Students can still get free bus rides with their Coyote ID cards. “Go Smart program will … [Read more...] about San Bernardino express bus arriving late April

On the Road with Omnitrans

October 6, 2011 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Eric Sanchez |Asst. News Editor| As you might already know, all students of CSUSB (along with other colleges in the area) can ride the Omnitrans free all year long with their student I.D. cards. When I heard about this promotion I thought about how much money I would be saving on gas, and that $102 parking permit. I thought about all the free time I’d have on the bus, finishing some reading or schoolwork and all that fun stuff. All of this for free all year long? You can’t beat that, right? Omnitrans already offered pretty great rates for students ($35 for a 31-day pass) but in reality I never really considered riding the bus until it was free. While glorious thrifty, … [Read more...] about On the Road with Omnitrans
