Extend the shuttle times on weekends accomodate students going to Port Jefferson for nightlife and late night activities. Plzzzz
Happy to hear this. It sounds like an excellent idea and I hope many students take advantage of this new service!
Such a great idea! Yes, definitely extend Friday and Saturday nights a bit, maybe until midnight. That gives students time to figure out their crew for the night, get them selves to Port Jefferson, finish their meals, and stretch their legs before returning back to campus. Otherwise they might not use the service for fear of not making the return shuttle.
A shuttle—great service. Congratulations PJ/SB.
