The stinger - world's most unreliable system of transportation. The stinger is Georgia Tech's impersonation of public transportation, running shuttles all day long so students can save time by not having to walk to class. The irony of it is that the buses sit at the damn bus stop on west campus for so long while the bus driver takes his/her time to chill and have a smoke that you could have walked to class and back twice by the time the bus actually gets moving.

    The Stingerette - second most useless method of transport. The Stingerette is designed for those after-hour adventurers who don't feel like walking back to where they came from late at night. So Tech implements the Stingerette. All u do is call in, and wait to be picked up. My advice to you: Get to walking, bitch.  There is only a 68% pickup ratio on the Stingerette, which means you might as well be the one getting left next time. Why? The dumb fucks that drive the Stingerette are supposed to stop where u tell them to pick you up, but sometimes they like to just take a rolling stop and drive on. I don't know how you are supposed to get on the fucking thing if they don't stop for you. Send suggestions.

   If you park your car in front of your dorm, namely Caldwell Hall, in the no parking zone, you will get towed. If a big yellow terrorist-looking Ryder truck with all the Ryder logos painted over in yellow parks in the no parking zone and stays there for weeks on end, it's perfectly ok.

    Why can't a school of "great engineers" build something as simple as a parking deck. I mean, you can train kids to grow up and build skyscrapers and shit but can't build a parking deck. They spend forever building the north campus parking deck, only to close it down again because the piece of shit was already starting to crumble. Now the parking deck by the student center is being supported by wooden braces because its about to crumble too. I suppose Curran or Peters are gonna be the next to go....

    In order to maximize profits for themselves and bullshit for you, the parking services, Georgia Tech's parking services accept 1000 more people for parking than they actually have spaces for, so that way, when someone decides to cancel their permit, there are 999 other people waiting to get parking.  Why can't they just cut the crap and say you didn't get parking?

    They're so anal about people parking on campus that you can't even park your car on campus during the weekends, when all the lots are half empty.  Any other school that's worth even half of what you shell out to go here lets you do so. 

     HAHA THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!  I hear that the dumbfucks at this school are soon going to be tearing down Peters parking deck.  As if there wasn't already a shortage on parking spots.  Apparently when the money was originally donated to the school, Peters was to be a PARK, not a PARKing deck.  I can't see how anyone can slip up on that.  Or maybe it was just another part of the ongoing scheme to dupe as many innocent people as possible, including the schools benefactors.  Someone correct me if I am wrong on this.

Hear what the students have to say about Parking and Transportation
