They could get better by being more noticeable, but he would not use them.

• We're visiting friends who are studying at Stanford.

• We rent a car but we switch to walking as long as there is not much available parking

• We haven't used the buses yet, but they seem like a convenient option for exploring the campus.

• We're here for a college tour with our son.

• We utilized the free campus shuttles; they were quite helpful in navigating the vast campus.

• The bus stops are well-placed, and the shuttle service is efficient, making it easy for visitors to explore different parts of the campus.

• I've always wanted to visit Stanford as it's renowned for its academics and beautiful campus.

• I rented a bicycle near the campus entrance, which has been a fantastic way to explore the surroundings.

• I've seen the buses around, but I prefer biking as it allows me to stop and admire the campus at my own pace. However, having the option of buses is great for those who may need it or want to cover longer distances.

• I'm here for a short vacation, and I wanted to explore Stanford University.

• I've been using a rented electric scooter to get around. It's been a fun and efficient way to move around the campus, and I can easily cover longer distances without much effort. The availability of electric scooters on campus has made exploring Stanford quite enjoyable and convenient.

• I must say, I'm quite dissatisfied with the bus stops at Stanford. They were not as visible as I expected, and there were no clear indicators or maps showing where the stops were located. Additionally, there wasn't much shade or seating at the stops, and the scorching sun made waiting for the bus uncomfortable. As a tourist unfamiliar with the campus layout, I found it challenging to find the right bus stops to get around easily. Moreover, the absence of real-time information about bus arrival times made it even more frustrating, as I had no idea when the next bus would arrive. It would have been helpful to have a digital display or an app to track the bus schedules. Overall, the bus stops' lack of amenities and inadequate information made using the buses quite inconvenient for me as a visitor. I hope the university can improve the signage, amenities, and provide real-time bus information to make the bus stops more user-friendly and appealing for tourists like me.
