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.

Great Transportation.

You can get anywhere on campus within 10 minutes by walking if you live on campus. If you live off campus the buses are super easy to use, just flash your Oregon I.D. card and your free to ride the bus as much as you like. After hours there are shuttles that patrol the campus in search of people who may need a ride home. Bikes are really popular, cars are rarely used.

Buses are free for students which is awesome! There are a lot of things to do within walking distance of campus. Most students have bikes to get to places a little too far to walk, there are not many students who bring there cars to school.

Buses Are Free

Buses are fairly easy to use around Eugene, and they are free for students at the U of O who have their student body card.
