Public Transportation
My car died twice this week. Thus I had to rely on friends for rides. However, I did wonder what Columbia, offers in the way of public transportation. Students ride for $.25 each trip. Also, transit offers a 30-day unlimited FASTPass for $20. Or, there is a 7-day student FASTPass for $2.50. There are various pick up spots throughout campus. Also, there are blue signs at intersections. The buses will stop, however, at street corners or the end of blocks by getting the driver’s attention.
Hours:
6:25 a.m. through 6:25 p.m. Monday through Wednesday;
6:25 a.m. through 10:25 p.m. Thursday and Friday; and
9:45 a.m. through 10:25 p.m. Saturday.
If you have to get to the KC or St. Louis airport and do not have a ride, do not fret. It is not difficult to find a way to get to where you need to be. Carpools are great by friends living in Kansas City or St. Louis. If that is not an option, do not worry, MoEx offers 12 round trips to St. Louis and five to Kansas City. A round trip costs about $80. A little pricey, but it is reliable.
