NOTICE OF TEMPORARY INCREASE IN SHUTTLE FARE
As a result of the road construction (the road from Total filling station to the University first gate), there will be a little increase in the shuttle fare ( only those moving town to school).The drivers now have to ply a different and longer route...inorder to enable them to serve us better, the shuttle fare will now be #70 temporarily pending when the construction is completed.
Please, we regret any inconvenience this may cause but the union promise to *speedily* reverse to the original price once the construction is finished.
WELCOMING YOU BACK TO THE DEN WITH LOVE.....compliments of the season
Yours everly
