UK Bus Service Added to Increase Night Time Safety

An innovative program to boost student protection at the University of Kentucky as well as its surrounding areas will be commencing this week.

The university which has named the program Cats Cruiser, will be offering four late-night UK bus service routes where buses will circulate every 20 to 30 minutes. The object of the program is to ensure that students and other passengers are able to return safely to their campus or residing areas.

The service is due to run through the academic year with classes in session and will run every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. With the service beginning this Thursday, students with a valid UK student ID card will be able to ride for free. Non-students will need to pay $1 to board the buses.

When it comes to student safety, it is important that they have a form of transport that will enable them to return to their campuses, particularly at night, safely. However, while the implementation of a bus service is certainly a ideal concept, it is also a good idea for students to have another form of protection on hand for their defense.

One such device that they should think about is a stun gun. Extremely easy to employ as well as safe to use, this self defense device can quickly subdue an individual without causing them harm, but allows the one employing it to escape when needed.

Not only is it safe to employ, but the ownership of a stun gun is also easy to carry which means that wherever you are and whatever you are doing you will be able to carry the stunning device on you. After all, you never know when you may require its assistance within a moment’s notice.

When it comes to students they are often faced with the threat of an attack, especially if they are walking alone late at night. Because of this, while a bus service is a good idea, it doesn’t run every night. Students should, therefore, consider their safety for the remaining days that they need to go to and from campus for their lessons or after school sports.

A stun gun would be ideal in these situations as it maximizes students safety at all times.
