Upcoming Game: Saturday, 11/22, Kickoff 12:00 PM

If you're planning to take public transit to a Virginia Tech football game, you're in the right place. Blacksburg Transit provides service from all over Blacksburg to Virginia Tech's campus and Lane Stadium.

Plan for potential delays on all routes, especially on-campus routes. BT will add extra service before and after the game as well as doing our best to stay on schedule. Check the live map to see if your bus is running late.

Additional buses will be added routes 2.5 hours before kickoff, with the start of service at 9:30 AM.

The Orange Loop will close 2 hours after kick-off at 2 PM. All routes will service the Maroon Loop. The Orange Loop will reopen when roads clear, approximately an hour after the game ends.

Information on this page is subject to change. Please check back for updates before each game.

Getting to the Game

Blacksburg Transit provides service from all over Blacksburg to Virginia Tech's campus and Lane Stadium. All routes go to campus, check the chart below to see which bus services your area. BT’s trip planner and Live Map both display the next predicted time a bus will be at your stop.

Once on campus, all BT buses drop off passengers at the Transit Center Loops, located near the Perry Street garage. This is a change from previous years. Once at the Transit Center, board the Campus Shuttle (CAS) in the same loop as you arrived. If in the Maroon loop, catch the CAS in bay 5, if in the Orange loop catch it at 14 to get to the game. The CAS will drop off passengers at the stops near Cassell Coliseum. It is just a short walk from these stops to Lane Stadium.

High volumes of passengers are expected, especially as it gets closer to kick-off. If you would prefer to walk, Lane Stadium is just over a mile.

Leaving the Game

Unlike previous years, passengers will not catch off-campus routes along Washington Street. Instead, passengers will catch CAS at Cassell Coliseum, then transfer to their route bus in the Maroon Loop. The CAS will continue servicing Cassell Coliseum after the game. To board the CAS after the game, return to the sidewalk in front of Cassell Coliseum to ride back to the Transit Center. The walk back to the Loops is just over a mile from the stadium if you choose not to ride the CAS.

After the game, all routes will be in the Maroon Loop. The Orange Loop closes 2 hours after kickoff.

Buses are designated by a three letter code, plan to ride the same route home that you took to the concert. BT staff in safety vests will be on site to help direct you to the correct route.

ADA Information

BT provides accessible transportation from the ADA parking area in Oak Lane to the south end zone gate at Lane Stadium. At the ADA lot, you will be given a pass by Virginia Tech staff to use the ADA service. You will not be allowed to board the BT vehicle before or after the game without this pass. Please retain this pass for boarding before and after the game.

For ADA parking information please visit the Virginia Tech’s ADA Info in the Fan Guide

Parking

Blacksburg Transit does not provide parking. For parking information, please visit Virginia Tech’s Parking Info in the Fan Guide. Once you're parked, BT can help you get from the lot to the stadium for the game.
