UConn Announces New Campus Bus Routes

STORRS, CT — University of Connecticut officials have announced changes to the HuskyGo bus system, starting in the upcoming fall semester.

It's the first time since 2011 that the routes have changed. The new routes are designed to be "more efficient for students and decrease the number of transfers that have to be made," officials said.

Part of that plan is eliminating routes that crisscross the campus.

There are seven new routes in a color-coded system.

Three of the routes (Blue, Red, and Green) begin and end at either residential locations or parking lots and have stops in the middle.

The Orange and Yellow lines circulate just through the "core," and the the Purple and Silver lines reach some of the outer limits of the campus.

The Blue, Red, Green, Purple, and Silver lines have peak operating hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily with off-peak hours from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight. The Orange and Yellow lines will operate from 7 a.m. to midnight.
