Looks like faculty/staff only for now. Sorry students.

$20 gets you four "free" bus rides? on metro only?

sheeeyiiit, the real upass is free rides in multiple counties.

that looks like a ridiculously shitty deal. daily parking is $12, so $9 savings there. four bus rides costing $5- awesome, if you jump through all their administrative hoops, you can save $3 per quarter! you know, assuming you park on campus twice.

As I read it, the $20 gets you 2 quarters (spring and summer).

Assuming they let me use the Pay-Per-Use parking with this mini-UPass, I'd be in for Spring and Summer; the alternative is $20+/month for a full U-Pass, and basically I'd only use it to joyride light rail.

After that, they don't tell you what the price will be, so I can't do the math.
