NUS to restrict access to food courts, shuttle buses for a week over expected influx of tourists

From September 30 to October 7, the National University of Singapore ( NUS) will impose restrictions on access to its two University Town ( UTown ) food courts and internal shuttle bus service.

Only NUS students, staff, and authorized people will be permitted to board the shuttle bus between 8am and 2pm during that time frame, excluding Oct. 6, according to a notice that was made available on the university’s website on Thursday ( Sep. 26 ). &nbsp,

From 11am to 2pm, excluding Oct 5 and Oct 6, the same regulations may also apply to the Good Food and Flavours foods authorities at NUS’ UTown. &nbsp,

Checks may be conducted, and students, staff and permitted visitors must give NUS-approved passes or video evidence to gain entry.

According to an internal memo released by CNA, the NUS Kids ‘ Union stated that the latest measures are being put in place as more tourists are expected on college from September 30 to October 7. The NUS’ Central Library may be closed to tourists during this time, according to the article.

These schedules coincide with China’s future Golden Week vacation season, which runs from October 1 to October 7. The&nbsp, seven-day federal trip marks the creation of the People’s Republic of China and some Chinese citizens engage in leisure&nbsp, travelling during this period.

The pupil union stated that” we have been working closely with the management-appointed committee to ensure that vigilant measures are in place to address any potential flood of holiday visitors.” &nbsp,

” Any of the above-mentioned may result in limitations on future college campus visits and may result in additional police deeds, if necessary.

The federation added that when needed, it might try to “build a willing pool of pupil associates” to assist security personnel. &nbsp,

NUS implemented similar measures in August, including preventing tourists from taking inside shuttle buses, preventing students from taking internal shuttle buses, and introducing training for undergraduates to lead guided tours.

This came after pupils complained about the university’s influx of tourists and the disruption of college life.

Two kids noted how travellers had&nbsp, crowded shuttle buses and restaurants, and milled about books, research laboratories and perhaps accommodation facilities. &nbsp,

Other students who CNA spoke to in August claimed they had experienced inconvenience and had also noticed that larger visit groups had been appearing on campus more frequently over the past six months.

These larger organizations arrive&nbsp, in coaches, which often include foreign pupils in dress accompanied by faculty or babysitters. &nbsp,
