Riders are encouraged to download the R2U Connect app to reserve a seat on the free shuttles between West Lafayette and Indianapolis. The app is available through Google Play or the App Store.

For faculty, staff and students who will be spending time at both the West Lafayette and the Indianapolis campus locations, free commuter shuttle services will be available beginning in August. 

Provided by Royal Excursion, six round trips will be offered daily during the week with a reduced schedule on the weekends during the fall and spring semesters. The 50-passenger buses are ADA compliant and include Wi-Fi, collaboration spaces and restrooms.

Schedules are listed on the Purdue Auxiliary Services website, and more information will be added and shared ahead of the fall semester.

Charter shuttles

Departments that have events or travel needs in Indianapolis may need to obtain charter shuttle services rather than rely on the commuter shuttles. 

Location-specific shuttles

Additionally, complimentary shuttles exist to help individuals navigate each location with JagLINE serving Indianapolis and CityBus serving West Lafayette.
