Bus detour wrong for CSULB students
When I returned to school
Monday, I first took a brisk walk to the campus. The only problem
was this walk was totally unexpected.
On Monday morning,
just as bus No. 171 was approaching Bellflower Boulevard, the driver informed
the passengers that the bus would not be entering the campus.

I walked from Bellflower
Boulevard and Anaheim Road to the campus entrance and saw two Long Beach
Transit employees putting up large detour notices at the bus stop.
They said the buses
were detoured because Cal State Long Beach called the agency that morning
and told agency officials to reroute the buses off campus "until further
notice."
Later I spoke with
officials from CSULB's Parking and Transportation Services and asked them
why the buses were taken off campus.
CSULB could have
picked up the ball and ran an emergency campus shuttle that would take
students from campus shuttle stops to the major public transit stops near
the campus.
