Taking a bus off campus with your club is, to me, just another club event and should be treated accordingly with appropriate and reasonable accommodations.

That exceptions to the no bus policy for Villages buses doesn't sit right in my mind. In fact, it downright smells. I'm not talking about the airport shuttles but the new ones, especially the one for transportation for cruises. It's okay for these buses and patrons to take up parking spaces near the squares for days on end but not for a club? Sorry, it has a fishy smell to me.
Thank you couldn't agree more. For those that don't belong to a CLUB that does these type of trips it's no big deal. Expressed my concerns to both DPM & CPM not that I got anywhere.
