Buses Are Good

The buses aren't always on schedule so you have to leave earlier than you would otherwise.

Somewhat Inconvenient

UB has buses running all the time, but if you decide to try to catch one by Capen Hall, some days you'll literally find yourself sitting there waiting as 15 buses drive right past you. This gets frustrating very fast. You have to manage your time wisely in between study times and classes if you want to catch a bus to the south campus. Imagine having to deal with that in the middle of a snow storm. We get a lot of those. Some students even have to leave lectures 10 minutes early to ensure they get to a class on either campuses on time! imagine how much information you can miss in 10 minutes worth of lecture time. The public buses also stop at the Capen loop as well. They can be of convenience as well if you don't mind public transportation.

Buses, Taxi, and Public Transportation Review.

School buses get through almost everywhere on campus (North and South). With that, it still takes you to Mall, Markets on Saturdays and Wednesday. Public transportation only becomes convinced while you live in South Campus due to the fact that there is a "University Station". With that, when first time taking it you should be at least do some research on transfers, the public transportation is really cheap $1.75, or you can buy a whole day pass which is around $5..00. The taxi is really expensive compared to other areas, going from North to airport could cause you about $40, and as a college student I think it is expensive unless you are rich (plane tickets on sale going from New York City-->Buffalo is only 60). I would suggest to find students around campus who owns cars and given their student price for taking you to places or even long distance transportation.
