Bus Schedules

Our mission is to provide safe and reliable transportation for our passengers.
Transportation is what we do for "U" at CS"U"
You are the reason we are here.

Because of the COVID-19 challenges we face, we are more dedicated than ever toward your safe return to campus this fall. We have deployed a number of health and safety practices and protocols designed around guidance and mandates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Georgia Department of Public Health, and University System of Georgia.

We have implemented a sanitizing policy that results in the constant cleaning of the buses throughout the day. In addition to constant cleaning, our shuttles will adhere to physical distancing guidelines, including having hand sanitizing stations, Plexiglas barriers between each row of seats.

A Columbus State University ID is required to ride the shuttle.
For your safety and your fellow riders, face coverings will be required at all times while onboard the buses.

Please Note

• All times on the schedules are departure times.
• Please arrive 5 minutes before departure time.
• The buses run in twenty minute intervals and over-crowding is often an issue during peak periods. To minimize standing, it is recommended to plan to leave before the last bus to your destination. Plan to leave at least two buses before your desired arrival time at your destination.
  For example: You need to arrive at River Park by 8:30am from Courtyard One, plan to depart Courtyard One at 7:19 or 7:39 am to allow you time enough to be able to wait on the next shuttle, if needed.
• Wheelchair Lift Buses Departure times are the Blue and Black Routes.
• Please observe the policy of not eating or drinking on the shuttle bus. Food should be tied in a bag or a closed box and drinks should have a secured cap.

All other food or drinks should be disposed of before boarding bus.
• Buses only run on days that the campus is open.
