College Prowler Take

Because of its size, College Station doesn’t have much public transportation, and the A&M bus system is the best way to get to campus and back. It has many routes throughout Bryan and College Station, including one that goes directly to the malls. It will take you pretty much anywhere you need to go, and the fee for riding the bus is included in tuition.

Public transportation at A&M is almost entirely unnecessary. The city has no real need for many taxis or buses, although they certainly do exist. It’s nice if you are able to bring a car so that you can use it for grocery shopping, going out, and other leisure activities, but many off-campus tasks can be accomplished by bumming a ride off a friend or taking the A&M bus. Plus, if you can avoid having a car, you won’t have to deal with paying for a permit and trying to find somewhere to park. No matter what, you will certainly not miss public transportation. It might be a little inconvenient at times, but you can live without it. The town is so small and the people are so nice that you’ll be able to figure out how to get where you need to be without too much hassle.

Great shuttle service, just make sure to stick to the schedule and it'll be fine. Weekends are a little more challenging because they only run every hour but on the weekdays there are buses every 10 minutes at most

This isn’t like towns in the Northeast. Texas doesn’t really have much public transportation. The A&M buses are the best bet, and they’re free because you pay for them with your student fees.

The University has buses that will pick you up from your house and take you to your classes. They run pretty much everyday.

I hardly ever drive to class because I take the bus. The bus is the best thing ever. I practically took the bus every day. It’s not a hassle at all. I walked outside my apartment complex, and after a 10-minute ride, it drops me off in the heart of campus. It’s great.

They best way to get around the city is to drive. The town is too small to have any public buses or many taxis.
