Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

CAT buses are the most useful public transportation resource in the Clemson area. The buses run regularly everywhere in the area, and students find them to be reliable and convenient. Students give the public transportation so much
praise that they say cars are unnecessary at Clemson.

With such a good bus system, having a car is not necessary and only brings on additional costs and liabilities. The buses go anywhere you will ever need to be in the local area, and best of all, it’s free. With such a difficult parking situation on campus, riding on the CAT will save you time and, more importantly, money.

Transportation at Clemson University is very convenient. There is an online bus schedule so you can find out what buses go where and when. Also there is a shuttle that will take you anywhere you need to go on campus after 6 pm.

Highpointe Transit and Cat Bus Clemson Transit

I have never seen a better transportation system than Clemson's Cat Bus transit. It picks up in various popular locations and even goes out in the outskirts of Clemson where the bus also runs to the nearby Walmart. The cost is free if you are in the range of the Cat Bus which is why people, students and residence of SC, use it to there advantage. Also, the Highpointe transit is awesome, accommodating those who are also in the area, but the technical college nearby as well. So whatever one bus isn't able to so, the other bus will.
