​
Journey Map:
Needs to get from dorm to class/next destination efficiently and on time. He is willing to do anything that would save his time - since he is very involved on campus' activities and needs to get to all his meetings on time, it would be better for him to find effective ways to commute around campus through the bus system.
Main Stressors:
Waiting for Bus, anxious since the bus service schedule can be erratic.
Jumps on the bus, anxious to know if he’ll make it to class on time since traffic seems pretty bad.
Barely makes it to class on time.
