and how old are these students? Pointing someone in the direction of public transportation and telling them to go sounds irresponsible. I get the author was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Certainly there was a better resolution...

Of course, there is no context in the story, so it is hard to say...

As a student in this class I would like to clarify by saying we're all adults, the class is an accelerated software development program. The student who was kept out of yelp is in her 20s, so I think she managed public transportation just fine.

Probably old enough to take public transporation, if they are attending a talk on how Pinterest scales their product :-)
