FAQs

How do I get to Commencement by bus?

If you're starting from an off-campus apartment, go to the closest stop and catch a BT bus. All buses go to the Loops on campus which are located beside the Perry Street Parking Garage. Take note of which route you rode and which bay number you were dropped off at. From here you can catch the CAS at either bay 5 or 14. Allow extra time for travel as delays are possible. Alternatively, it is possible to walk to most locations on campus within 15-20 minutes.

Use BT's Trip Planner to help you navigate which route to use and where to catch the bus.

How much does it cost to ride the bus?

Nothing! BT is fare free for all riders. 

What should I do if I lose an item on a BT bus?

All items found on buses are stored in our lost and found located at 2800 Commerce Street. Call 540-443-1500, Monday through Friday (8 am - 5 pm) to check if we have your item.

More info can be found HERE.
