Buses Are Great

There are plenty of UGA buses that can get you where you need to go, plus the Athens Transit System has several routes that run through and around campus.

Convenient Yet Inconvenient

The UGA buses are usually running every 5-8 minutes during the day time. However, once 6 p.m. hits. It's very rare to see a UGA bus go by. Also, the UGA buses are late to their stops sometimes, which causes some students to be late to class. There are other options like biking, walking, or taking the Athens Transit. The Athens Transit runs throughout the campus and off campus as well. The Athens Transits also takes you to Target, Wal-Mart, and apartment complexes. It is free for UGA students. The cost of the transportation fee are reasonable. There really isn't much to say about long-distance transportation. You're basically going to need a car to go anywhere more than 5 minutes from campus or somewhere the buses don't go. It would be nice to see more buses running throughout the day and night. I know some students who take night classes and don't have a ride home. Sometimes they don't even go to class because of the whole ride situation.

Buses, Buses, Buses

UGA is such a large campus and parking is only in specific areas. Like most state schools, this is a walking, biking, and riding campus. You will not be able to park outside of your classrooms. We have quads, but buses are always coming and the bus system is extensive.
