Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For the most part, students don’t have much to complain about as far as public transportation goes. They rely heavily on the Tiger Transit system that runs during the day and at night by call. However, most students still drive to destinations off campus.

Even though Auburn is a small town, a car is almost a necessity, especially if you are not from the town itself. Bikes are a popular choice for those students who do not own a car. The on-campus transit system is paid for by tuition, but unfortunately, the off-campus buses (LETA) require a fee in order to ride them.

Variety

The vast majority of students bring a car, and it's highly recommended but totally doable without. I did not bring a car and everything on campus and many things off-campus (Downtown Auburn for example) are in walk distance. Don't want to walk? The Tiger Transit system is well-designed, fast, and very well maintained. There's a lot of different buses and destinations - you should have no problems getting anywhere you need to be on campus and some places off as well. In addition to that we have the security shuttles (known by the students as the "drunk bus"). There are a bunch of these white vans driving around campus to pick students up and take them where ever they need to go. It's pretty easy to just run into one but you can also call and get on sent straight to you to pick you up.
