First off let me say that the story is about 3 months too late. first I heard this I thought the same thing it seemed a little odd. But then you hear that the system ran out of rides it's first month of the week left, that equates to about 13000 rides a month. Thats 71 rides an hour, each night, if you average. Ohio state would have to have a fleet capable of doing that and then staff it you're talkin about an entire program dedicated to giving kids free rides. And you talk about money but never factored in insuring all these drivers and vehicles you had to make a (bad) paint joke. Not at all sure why it's a responsibility of an academic organization to make sure students get home from the bars safe, but that point aside they subsided a ride program they got students down to waiting 3 to 5 minutes. Just because they have to pony up some money so they don't abuse the system doesn't really seem that awful to me. I'm sure all 10,000 rides that were used initially were students who really were concerned for their safety.
