Cambus Ride

So yesterday I decided to to check out the Cambus system.  I had a break in between my classes, so I hopped on one of the buses and rode it around to see where it went.  Here a few words of wisdom:  If you get cold easily, be prepared.  The Cambus buses are extremely cold, but it is a nice break from the humid day.  You don’t need you ID or anything to get on.  Most routes take you completely around campus so if you feel like you need to, check out the routes online or at each bus stop, there are signs saying which buses come to that particular bus stop and the times that they usually come around.  The buses aren’t usually that crowded except for around 3:30-4:00 p.m.  Since I live in Parklawn, Cambus has been very helpful in getting me back near my apartment.  Also, the wait for the bus usually doesn’t take very long — maybe about 5-10 minutes.  I highly suggest that if you are planning on using the Cambus system, have your routes pretty much figured out before winter weather arrives.  If you aren’t from Iowa, you are in for a rude awakening when November and December come around.

  1. Thank you for your blog about the cambus system. I have been thinking about trying them out in Coralville. I live in North Liberty, but there is a cambus bus at Research Park in Coralville that I can ride, but I was scared that the bus would lead me to some part of the campus that I was not familiar with. I think I will try it out next week. Thanks again!
