[quote=EconProf]I used to ask my students in a show of hands how many were for mass transit. Most would raise their hands.
Then I’d ask the class (at SDSU) how many rode the bus to campus today. Maybe 10% would raise their hands. Yet SDSU is largely a commuter campus well-connected by bus routes and a trolley track to apartment-type neighborhoods. SDSU also has a parking space shortage and the permit really costs.

Are you implying that 90% of SDSU students own cars and drive them to campus every day? Which, between car payments, insurance, and parking permit, would add something like $500/month to their expenses.
But what about residence halls? They are right across the street from the campus.
