Penn Transit Services
Penn Transit's integrated transportation system provides effective, efficient, and safe integrated transit on and around campus within specific service boundaries at no charge for those with a PennCard.
Our Mobile App Makes Planning Your Trip Easy
Penn Transit Riders can use the PennTransit Mobile app to plan their rides. The app provides the current location and estimated arrival times of all buses and shuttles. It also allows you to schedule a ride on our evening shuttles. All Penn Community members with PennKey credentials should download the app in order to submit a ride request.

Penn’s three fixed route buses (West, East and North) operate Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m., year-round except for holidays observed by the University. Passengers need only show their PennCards to ride Penn Bus for free. Penn Bus will pick up and deliver passengers only at designated Transit Stops on campus, and at certain intersections with a stop sign or traffic light along its off-campus route.
