**UABC Students Request Extended Routes and Schedules for “Cimabus”**
Students from the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) are urging for an extension of the routes and operating hours for the “Cimabus,” the university’s dedicated transportation service. This service begins its routes at 6:30 AM from La Presa to the UABC campus, with the last return trip at 8:30 PM. The students have expressed a need for more buses to accommodate the increasing demand, as the current fleet is insufficient for the student body, forcing many to rely on city buses and taxis instead.
Wendy López RamÃrez, a student from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, highlighted the necessity for the service to cover more central routes in the eastern zone of Tijuana. She expressed that the current schedule is inconvenient, as there are limited options during the afternoon. The university’s official publication details that the Cimabus makes continuous stops at key points, such as Plaza Carrusel and 5 y 10, before reaching the campus.
Students can access the complete schedule and map of the Cimabus routes via the Moovit app. Nayeli Alfaro, a teaching advisor from the same faculty, voiced her frustration over the precise departure times of the buses that frequently leave students scrambling to catch them, leading to overcrowded conditions.
**Additional Updates: Study Launched to Address UABC Students’ Public Transport Issues**
In response to the growing concerns about transportation for UABC students, a new study has been initiated to explore solutions to the public transport challenges faced by the student community. With many students finding the current options inadequate, this study aims to improve accessibility and convenience in the university’s transportation services.
Furthermore, UABC is exploring different strategies to ensure more accessible transport options for its students. The administration hopes to collaborate with local authorities to enhance the services available and alleviate the daily struggle many students experience. Through these efforts, UABC aims to create a more student-friendly commuting experience and ensure that educational opportunities are accessible to all.
