Honestly it’s so sad to see useful fixed infrastructure abandoned for subpar replacements in the form of battery electric buses. Trolleybuses have no tailpipe emissions, lesser range limitations and have extended off-wire range these days. Networks should be expanded!

Every campus has one building that doesn't make sense. For me it was this one. Only had one class in Crosley and dropped the class after 2 weeks because the room had zero windows and I felt like I was in jail. Any rando buildings like this on your campus???
