Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Public transportation is rarely ever used by Furman students. Greenville is a city primarily traversed by cars, and Furman students are no different. The overwhelming majority bring their own cars with them to school. The AFS Shuttle, or the drunk bus, is run by Furman student volunteers on the weekends. The shuttle has been an extremely positive initiative by the association of Furman Students as a guaranteed sober ride on the weekends. However, there is only one shuttle causing students to have to wait over an hour sometimes before they are picked up.

Greenville’s public transportation system is comprised of city buses, but most Furman students are unfamiliar with the system. There is no bus stop on Furman’s campus, leaving students without a car with few options other than bumming a ride or borrowing a car from a friend.

Bring a Car

While there are many transportation options available through GreenLink and the Drunk Bus, bring a car or make friends with someone who does. It is much more convenient. And bring a bike.

Most People Have Cars.

Most students on campus have a car. There is a bus from the alumni association that will take you where you need to go for free though.
