Unit 19: Bus Routes Note-taking Practice.

Reading Passage:
The university bus system will begin additional routes and stops at the beginning of the fall semester. The new routes will be in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The old routes will start to be followed. The new routes will speed up transportation between major points on campus. Students will no longer have to wait for more than three minutes in between buses. Also, having more stops will decrease pedestrian traffic on campus. Students will have more options to get off in previously isolated areas of campus and will not have to walk great distances. Announcement highlighted in red. First point highlighted in green.
