Soggy Students Promised Shelter and a Sexy New Asphalt Ramp

- The relocation of the Kelburn Parade bus stop has proved to have devastating effects after last week’s stormy weather. Construction of the Living Pā caused the bus stop to be moved further down the street about a month ago, and ever since, students have endured bus wait times without a shelter. “Everyone was absolutely dripping. No, they were soaking. My shoes were full of water. It was basically just glorified swimming,” said a disappointed eyewitness, who was forced to catch the number 18 in torrential rain. VUWSA made a desperate attempt to save drowning students by erecting a tent, Noah’s Ark style, that saw tens of students cramming themselves under at a time in order to escape the torrents.
