New bus app makes travel more simple

ETA Spot is a free app that students can use to track the HuskieLine bus system. The new app is replacing the old HuskieLine tracking app and hopefully it will be more accurate.

The introduction of this app is a good step towards making the bus system a reliable means of transportation for both on and off-campus students. The old app often froze or just flat out did not track the busses well. Students were left waiting in the cold guessing when the bus would get to their stop.

The new app is simple to use and more convenient than the previous app because each line is identified by a specific color and the app estimates how far a bus is from

Egyptian Theatre needs attendance

The Egyptian Theatre lacked a sufficient audience Friday night at their showing of “Clue” and a comedic performance.

As students of NIU, we are also members of the DeKalb community. Students should support local DeKalb businesses. The Egyptian Theatre has been a pillar of the community for more than 80 years.

Without consistent business, it is likely that landmarks like the Egyptian Theatre will disappear from DeKalb and we will eventually lose parts of this city’s history.
