Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The UGA buses run efficiently and are a great way to get around UGA’s sprawling campus. Students who don’t have a parking permit can take the Athens City Transit buses to and from campus for free by scanning their UGA IDs. The buses usually require a long wait, and it’s just a bad situation for all students when it’s hot and crowded. Often, in the ten minutes before any given class starts, the buses become a very hot commodity--you may even get on a bus to only immediately hop off because there just isn’t enough space. If you don’t have a car, try to bum rides from your friends. The cabs here can be a little pricey, and even a bit shady, but if you need a ride home from someone who is slightly less buzzed than you, then our cabbies will do just fine.

Having Hartsfield airport an hour and a half away is convenient for out-of-staters and anyone going abroad or on spring break trips. Students routinely find departing flights to just about any destination from Atlanta. Getting to the airport is not really complicated. Every weekend there is someone going home to the Atlanta metro area, so it is super simple to hitch a ride when needed. Overall, UGA is so centrally located, and the downtown area so close, that it is easy to get by without your own set of wheels, at least for a few years.

Buses! Thumbs up!

In UGA, two types of public buses run. One is UGA bus and the other one is Athens Transportation. First of all, the UGA bus run by school and drivers are students! Currently there are five main lines; Orbit, East-West, Millege, Ag Hill, and North-South. Students mainly use Orbit and Ag Hill and usually there are 5 minutes gap between buses. It is really convinent to use buses in UGA and you will love it after all. For Athens Transit, it is run by Athens local government and you can use it whenever you go to off-campus area. 12 and 14 buses are famous and many people use them. You can go mall or any other area through Athens Transit! No need to worry about transportations if you intend to come UGA!

City and Campus

For a small town Athens has SO MANY BUSSES. They go around campus and around town. Busses are best around campus and then getting from campus to certain apartment complexes. The further you get away from campus busses will become less frequent, but since UGA is a big campus the busses help out a lot! The system is easy to figure out and works pretty well.
