Stops and Schedules
Penn Transit operates four fixed-route bus routes.
The Pennovation Works Day Loop runs from the Pennovation Works building to campus stops Monday through Friday from 8 AM-6 PM.
Three Penn Bus routes operate Monday through Friday from 4 PM to 12 AM year-round, except for holidays observed by the University. Based on rider feedback, their names were recently clarified to reflect the destinations and corridors they travel.
- Penn Bus West is now the Baltimore/Spruce Loop.
- Penn Bus East is now the Rittenhouse Square Loop.
- Penn Bus North is now the Powelton/Spruce Loop.
When boarding a Penn Bus, tap your PennCard to the blue card reader mounted on the dashboard.
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. Note: The last route starts at 11 PM.
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.
