Buses Are Helpful

The buses at Radford University help to get around campus, and to the store and back. On the weekends they go to the mall and to Virginia Tech. They are pretty good, but the times they run do not go very late.

Not Too Bad, but Not the Best

Radford recently added more transportation which is free to students. It goes to Roanoke, VT, and all around Radford. This "freedom" is great especially because it's free to those who show their student I.D.. Unfortunately, the hours are awful. They stop extremely early, and when a student realizes they need something from the store, the bus has already stopped running. With regards to parking, a permit costs $70, which I think is a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, there is NEVER any parking on campus or off. It's awful. In addition, if you do manage to find a spot, you always get a ticket. I have paid almost $200 dollars in tickets this year alone. I understand that tickets are a source of revenue for the school, but I'm already paying $18,000 to attend, so I think it's a joke.

Still New

The transportation system is pretty good. The bus system is somewhat new so they are still getting the kinks out, but its pretty decent right now. There are quite a few buses that run around campus and downtown. There's one that take you to Virginia Tech on the weekends which can be pretty good for night time fun.
