Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students agree that it is not difficult to find transportation in and around Towson. On campus, there is a bus system that is convenient, but many students would rather just walk than wait. In the winter, the campus bus becomes especially convenient when the ground is icy and you are concerned for your own safety. Students who travel by bus or cab find it suitable, although many choose the local taxi service over the buses.

The truth is that, for the most part, everywhere you might need to go will only be a short walk away. The transportation systems at Towson and in the surrounding area are suitable but very often unnecessary. The cabs are necessary to get to downtown Baltimore, but you will not need them to get uptown. Students who do use the transportation systems provided find them to be reliable but difficult to contact on specific nights when so many students are calling them for rides.

City Atmosphere With Transportation Readily Available

There are many taxis available in Towson, we mainly take these when we are going out with friends. The shuttles run to school frequently and are fairly accessable if you live close. The BIGGEST problem is parking at Towson if you drive.

Its Good , Could Be Better

we gave buses that run all day and night in campus . they

are very helpful especially when we had to park in a garage on the opposite side of campus when you live on a completely different side . we don't really have busses that go too far off campus at night . usualy during the day we have some that go off but not very far . our busses are free with our one card . so that's always a plus .

Campus Transportation

A lot of local businesses are within walking distance on York Road but if not TU has lots of off campus shuttles that will take you to nearby places such as Target, CVS, or walmart. The MTA bus is also an option and it's likely you'll find a friend with a car.
