26 GETTING THERE A typical array of BSM vehicles. TOTAL SALE TO I 5.Yf GALLONS i 9 . HE'M '0 mm: mm 1m mt nu mum . u: manna The better part of a paycheck was devoted to getting to and from school. Whether you used a car, a bus, a moped or your feet, transportation was a must. After all, if you were going to spend money, you had to get there first. And getting there cost money. The variety of 4-Wheeled transportation at BSM was wide, ranging from vintage mo- del Mustangs and VWs to Porsche 924is. While only a minority of the cars were the $150-hope-the-rust-holds-it-together cars, it can be said there were very few power- everything gas guzzlers. The majority of the cars fell in between these two, with sta- tion wagons representing a good share. The unfortunates who were forced to drive a 1980 Rabbit diesel had to stop in a gas station about once a month. Those who drove Cordobas, LTDTs, an'd Impalas often knew their gas station attendants on a first name basis. Other costs which car aficiona- dos endured were: car insurance, moving Dan Hynds fills TTherii up. Some people are willing to pay the price for style. violations, tune-ups t$34T and oil. For those ultra-fuel-conscious, there was walking, jogging, and biking. While this method of locomotion was relatively cheap on lucre, it was heavy on the blisters. Of course the fine BSM bus service de- serves recognition for the job it did in get- ting students to and from school in the shortest time. This year the bus service cost sixty-dollars for people in Minneapo- lis, free for those in St. Louis Park, and over three-hundred dollars elsewhere. For extra-curricular activities, the new and im- proved bus routes promised mass confu- sion for all. And although some didnit con- sider hour-long bus rides to be transporta- tion, it did get them from here to there. The costs of getting from here to there were a veritable jungle, but one thing is sure: It was worth every penny.
