University of Calgary students taking courses in the Spring and Summer might soon be able to take the bus or C-Train as easily as the rest of the year.

Parking on campus and the U-Pass are the yin and yang of commuting to school: Two seemingly opposite concepts that somehow work well together.

The demand for parking on campus was dramatically decreased by the implementation of the U-Pass.

It wasn't without growing pains, but the U-Pass appears to be having the desired effect on campus.

"What we really needed to do was ease the demand in the peak hours," said Peter Fraser, Director of Ancillary Services at the University of Calgary. "I think we are about 90 per cent there."

The U-Pass is well on the way. From mid-August on, students will be able to get their pass, which will be a sticker on their student id card.

Still at issue is a U-Pass for part-time students.
