Stops and Schedules
Penn’s fixed-route buses* (West, East, and North) operate Monday through Friday from 4 PM to 12 AM, year-round except for holidays observed by the University.
As of the Spring 2025 semester, passengers will "Tap to Ride" when boarding a Penn Bus. Instead of showing their PennCard to the driver, riders will tap it 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.
A fourth fixed-route bus runs from campus bus stops to Pennovation Works during the daytime hours of 8 AM-6 PM. Click here for details about the Pennovation Works route.

Our Mobile App Makes Planning Your Trip Easy

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.
