Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Public transportation, such as the DART bus, plays a pivotal role in enabling accessible and equitable mobility for a wide range of students and faculty members.
At a bus stop along the South College Avenue, we can see a microcosm of campus life where students, school faculty, and staff gather while waiting for the bus. The bus facilitates movement to various locations on campus and expands service by connecting with several other off-campus areas.
The DART bus features a low entrance and slope, making it easy for disabilities people as well. In addition, the frequency of service during the rush hour (I used it for during key classes time) reduces latency and excessive density and establishes itself as a reliable public transportation.
But DART bus also have their drawbacks. Some students still feel the need for late-night service schedules and no direct routes to off-campus locations. Addressing these issues will improve accessibility.
