No, the regular routes don't go by the west campus so I have to use On Call which is expensive. Even the fares are absurd. Just a normal trip is 1.50 How many minutes/miles is your place from campus? Is there any chance you could get a bike and only use the bus when it's bad out? Or you could even get lucky and find someone to carpool with. That would be even better. :) I'm a bit confused by what you're asking btw... but I might have an idea. Usually they tell you upfront if that's the cost per semester/quarter or yearly. It sounds like it's yearly though, if it's community college.
