Punctuality Problem In UTAR

2. Punctuality problem is one of the major problems faced by the UTAR staff. Most of the reasons that cause punctuality are limited car parks. Although there has a system that only the people who have successfully bided for car sticker can enter into UTAR for parking, the problem of parking spaces still existed. The demands of students whose transportations are cars in UTAR are more than the parking spaces that UTAR has. UTAR can try to expand more spaces for parking but it seems it is difficult to achieve, another way is improve the public transportations which provide students convenience with a lower price and save petrol and save time from finding a parking space.

Attendance problem is also a problem that every lecture faced. Some students

A bus will come once sometimes after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and more. At lunch time, there are no any buses provided. Sometimes there will come 2 buses, the first bus will have some students but the second bus has not students. Some bus drivers will come earlier without following the schedules, if students miss the buses, they have to wait about 10 or more minutes. Those bus drivers went to the relevant department to complain about the time arrangements, but UTAR is not taking any actions for this. There also have no enough buses in the peak hours, such as there is only few of buses in different time depart at different places. For example, Bus A is going to depart at Harvard area then Westlake area at 6pm, the students who are living in Harvard and Westlake will board. For students live in Harvard have to board otherwise they have to wait around 40 minutes for another bus. Bus B which departs only at Westlake come after 10 minutes, only the students who live in Westlake can board it. It is unfair for those students who live in Harvard. I think UTAR has to follow the situation to make proper arrangements. I hope UTAR can take some actions to do some modifies on these
