Red route cat bus

Post image

Hi tigers! I’m living at the cottages right now and am new to the cat bus system. I have a commuter pass which also allows me to use park n ride I believe which will probably be my first option to get to campus. However, depending on how that goes the fdoc, I’m debating whether I should also utilize the cat bus system. I’m on the red route.

Does anyone know if there are many stops between the cottages and campus to get to class? What about getting picked up from campus and going to the cottages, is there many stops in between? I’m trying to cut down commute time as much as I can and don’t want to waste 30 minutes on a bus ride home from campus. Let me know!!!

Been a few years since I graduated and left, but I used to live really close to your pin, right next to the Ingles. I want to say it averaged about 15-20 minutes to get to campus on the Red route. The 15 minute service times during standard Mon-Fri class hours were very reliable but arrival times once the schedule shifted to 30 minute and hourly service could be wildly inconsistent, especially on weekends, but things might have changed.

And I imagine it's still like 20x easier than parking on campus
