Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With all the parking woes, not having a car at TCU may actually be easier. The local bus system and taxi services provide a fairly dependable means of transportation around the Fort Worth area. Sometimes the buses run late, but it is not difficult for students who don’t have cars to find rides with friends. Public transportation may not provide the most convenient modes of transportation, but the major bus stop on TCU’s campus makes transportation more manageable.

Students who don’t want to rely on public transportation, or those who need transportation on a regular basis, should bring their car to school, despite the parking difficulties. For students who don’t have cars, taxi services are recommended, although they can be a little expensive. Public transportation in Fort Worth may not be the best, but it is functional and may help alleviate the daily parking headaches facing so many students.

Better Have a Car

There are buses that run around campus all day but thats the only place they run. We have a froggie five-o system that will pick up girls from 5pm to 1 am every night on a golf cart on campus. Other wise alot of stuff is within walking distance of the school and most people have a car.

Buses and Police Carts

TCU is a small campus so most students walk everywhere. There are shuttle buses available if neccessary and lots of students ride bicycles. Police offer golf cart shuttles from the parking lots to dorms at night especially for girls.

Need a Car

Fort Worth has a lot to offer, but most of it is not within walking distance of the campus. The bus is inconvenient with not many stops and not many times.
