Campus Parking Fee Increase Notice: Starting next semester, the university will increase the annual parking permit fee from $200 to $300 for all students and staff. The additional revenue will be used to improve campus lighting and add more bike lanes. The university believes this change will enhance safety and encourage sustainable transportation.

Student 1: Did you see the new parking fee increase? I think it's totally unfair. As a commuter student, I have no choice but to drive. My classes are early, and the bus schedule doesn't match my times.
Student 2: Yeah, but they say it's for safety improvements. Don't you think better lighting is worth it?
Student 1: I agree safety matters, but the fee hike is too steep. They could raise it by $50, not $100. Plus, the bike lanes won't help me since I live 20 miles away.
Student 2: True, but I guess they want to encourage fewer cars on campus.
Student 1: That's not realistic for many of us. And they didn't consult students at all. That's why I oppose it.
