Reply to comment by Apprehensive-Mode-45 in WRTA Cutting Bus Routes, Reducing Trips Due To 'Driver Shortages' by besselfunctions
I agree, it’s interesting to me that WRTA said “oh, we technically COULD have subs, but all of our drivers max out on overtime before the end of the week”. Nothing about the excuse had to do with money. So then, couldn’t they just…hire a few more workers?

I feel like there is a pretty simple solution to this, right? Just hire more drivers, perhaps drivers that are on-call only (or mostly) but in return are paid more? Now obviously that would need funding. I don’t know how well WRTA is doing with that so perhaps they just don’t have the money (although that is not what they claimed the problem is, according to the article).
That last quote is right; I too find it hard to believe there simply just isn’t a way to find subs for drivers.

OOP, A lot of Clarkies see Peppercorn’s as overpriced! We really don’t frequent it. I’ve never even eaten there before. So, feel free to go ofc but just know we don’t love it or anything. and I’ve never heard of Da Lat before.

Just so you (OOP) know: It is not a large campus. It is an incredibly small campus, which is a fact that the students LOVE. Like, it’s not big at all and no one wants it to be. If you’re expecting a Yale/UConn/UMass/Northeastern or even Holy Cross sized campus you will be disappointed. But we have an actual campus unlike Suffolk or BU or Emerson.

If you like sushi, I recommend Soho Express Sushi and Hibachi. Also, if you can, go to Annie’s Clark Brunch. Then there’s Antonio’s Pizza By The Slice a bit further down Park Ave. I recommend the mac and cheese! but their pizzas are also super unique and amazing! Also also also, Yoway Cafe & Frozen Yogurt has amazing yogurt and desert crepes! There’s also Tastetea Rolls (rolled ice cream) but I prefer Yoway. AAAAAAND if you like Poké Bowls, go to Holy Poké! For close Chinese food, try New China Lantern on Main Street.

We frequent the Wendy’s, Taco Bell/KFC, Honey Farms, 7/11, and CVS on Park Ave. And the 7/11 and McDonald’s and Dunkin’ on Main Street.

As far as Clark things go, I think the art exhibit from last semester is still in the Traina Center Gallery, so you should go check that out! If you are here on January 28th, there’s a concert at 7:30pm (follow the VPA Instagram/Facebook/Twitter to see the posts about details that are coming soon- @ClarkUVPA).

Outside of the main campus area there’s Worcester Public Market, Crompton Collective & From Seed to Stem & Bedlam Book Cafe & Birch Tree Bread Company (all in the same building in the Canal District), then places like Miss Worcester Diner and Altea’s Eatery (still pretty close to Clark).
I’m a senior at Clark, let me know if I can answer any questions for you! I happen to know a decent amount of how things work around here.

Oh, you mean the bags that rip with even the slightest weight in them, forcing you to buy even more bags than you initially needed? No no they’re great 🙄
I bought a pack somewhat recently where every single one inside was pre-ripped and unusable.

Clark University has a small skateboarding community. I’m not sure how exactly that information can help you, but it should in some way? maybe via a Clark facebook group?
