LTD opens route
circling University
Why are Eugene’s buses
painted a vivid lime-green
and brilliant blue?
Misty-grey was the original
color designating Lane
Transit District buses But
patrons complained —
especially during Oregon's
frequent foggy mornings, af
ternoons and evenings —
that they couldn't tell when
the bus was coming until it
had already gone
So the county-based tran
sit agency consulted a ci
tizen’s committee, which
came up with the current
color combination as being
the most visible
Route number 19-Main
Street via the University con
nects with the Kincaid stop,
the mall and Springfield
Several routes also service
neighborhoods around the
University.
Students should have no
trouble noticing the blue
green shuttle buses circling
campus this year for the first
time
The new shuttle route,
designated route number
29-University, is an effort by
LTD to better serve resident
halls and the University cam
pus, says Bergeron
Student riders are impor
tant to LTD. he says, because
one fourth of LTD's ridership
consists of students from the
University and Lane Com
munity College
The new shuttle buses
leave twice per hour from the
main LTD terminal on the
downtown mall, head for the
main University bus stop at
Kincaid Street and East 13th
Avenue, make a loop around
campus on Franklin
Boulevard. Agate Street.
18th Avenue, and Hilyard
Street, return to the Kincaid
Street stop, and then depart
for the mall
Three other routes con
nect the mall with 13th Aven
ue and Kincaid Street One of
those routes. Fox Hollow
(route number 23), also
heads from Kincaid past the
University's Amazon Hous
ing to South Eugene, making
transfer connections to other
points
Confused? To help riders
understand the system, LTD
provides a schedule infor
mation phone — 687-5555
Bus fares are 50 cents, but
tokens can be purchased at
five for $2 25, or monthly
passes for $18 Bus
schedules, tokens and
passes are available at the
mall terminal and the infor
mation center in the EMU.
