Journal article doesn't fully explain MetroLink

As an advocate of public transportation, I was really depressed and aggravated to see your half-hearted attempt at encouraging students to take Metrolink and the bus. You don't even mention that the MetroLink has a wonderful "tripfinder" function on its Web site, which allows you to figure out exactly how and when to get where you're going.
You might also have told us where the nearest bus stop is (Lockwood Ave. and Gore Ave.), how to get to the Metrolink (the 56 to Sunnen Station) and when the bus runs (at :04 and :34 throughout the day). You didn't mention that Webster students can get discounted transit passes through the University Center.
Is this a secret plot to make sure everyone keeps driving to and from campus?
My suggestion: publish a transit map (instead of the pathetic picture of an almost empty train) and tell us about students and staff who are taking the system and have tells to tell.
