With board's OK, MTD will expand system for university area

Students, faculty and staff could be more able to have "one-seat" bus rides when they ride through the University of Illinois campus or around Champaign-Urbana.

Pending approval by the UI Board of Trustees, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District will expand the current campus bus system and provide more frequent buses on some routes around the campus.
