The on-campus Cliffe faces the continuous disadvantage of being nearly a mile away from the hub of campus life. The bus, as such, is a tangible attempt to bridge an unjust gap. As to the practicability of eliminating the inequity completely by instituting an all-day bus system, I know not; but certainly the night...
