College Prowler Take
The shuttles around campus and to surrounding towns are usually efficient and on time, mostly due to the small size of Durham and the general area. Around campus, the only shuttle really needed is the West Edge parking lot shuttle. The worst time for buses is around 4 or 5 p.m. when most classes let out and traffic is at its worst. This is when buses can get up to 45 minutes late because there are no alternate roads to take. To get out of town, transportation services run a route every hour to surrounding towns. During the week, this service goes until 10 p.m., but on the weekends, the service stops running much earlier, so living off campus can be an inconvenience. To get to Logan International Airport, the best way is to have a friend drive you because the drive is about an hour. If you can’t find a ride, the train goes right through Durham and runs several times per day.

They have buses that go around campus and stop at the main buildings, and they also have buses that go to the malls and Portsmouth. If you are really drunk, you can call SAFE rides, and they will pick you up and drop you off. There is also a train that goes to Boston, which stops at the school. |

The University has its own bus system that you can take for free. There are shuttles around campus, and there are buses that take you to the mall, the movies, or nearby towns. There is a program called SAFE rides that you can call late at night—they take you if you have been drinking off campus. |

Public transportation comes often and takes you to the surrounding towns. There are buses to many things surrounding campus, such as grocery stores, the mall, the movies, and many other places. There are also many on-campus shuttles that bring you to different places on campus, which is helpful. |

You can take the bus into a local town if you want, but it’s definitely nicer to have your own car. There are also buses and a train that go to Boston, Maine, and other areas. |
