Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Two words that describe Eugene’s public transportation: easy and free. Collaboration between the university and Lane Transit District allows students to ride buses for free anywhere in Eugene and some surrounding areas. During popular class hours (especially in the morning), some congestion occurs, which means that buses may be standing-room only. However, LTD has tried to counteract this problem by offering buses every three minutes during peak commute times, and has been mostly successful.

Eugene is big on bicycling, which makes two wheels a great source of transportation around the area. In addition, many students live close enough to campus to make walking, blading, skating, or boarding a viable option; given the parking situation, anything other than driving seems attractive. If you need to get out of town, the small Eugene airport is only about 20 minutes from campus, and there are also Amtrak and Greyhound stations nearby. Overall, public transit in Eugene serves the student and town population well, helps to compensate for the terrible lack of parking, and makes getting to class or going out for an evening hassle-free.

Free and Easy Public Transportation

If you have a UO ID card (which all students get at the beginning of the year, or if you lose it you can get another one), riding the EmX and buses are free. It is not hard to figure out transportation, and it is safe. It is usually pretty crowded, because many UO students take the bus and/or EmX to school (as parking is limited and expensive). However, Eugene has great public transportation, and it is easy and free to get around.

Public Transit

The Eugene public transit system is very good. It runs frequently and reaches even the farthest reaches of sprawling Eugene. If you are a student, it is free--which is very useful.

Also, the UO provides various methods of transport for those who are under the influence, and even some that don't ask questions--whether you're underage, high as well, or tripping out on acid. Their job is to get you to where you are going and make sure you are safe.
