A student-led initiative at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh will provide extended hours for bus service, providing students and the community with safe and convenient transportation in the evening.

Oshkosh Transit buses only run Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Using student segregated fees, the University contracted with Kobussen to provide “Titan Transit” bus service from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Three routes will be available:

  • North Side Route: Stops include the transit station, campus, primary off-campus student housing area, North High School, Pick ‘n Save and downtown.
  • West Side Route: Stops include the transit station, Sears Grand, West High School and Titan Stadium.
  • Frontage Road Route: Stops include Target, Marcus Cinema Ten, Wal-Mart, Festival Foods and Sears Grand.
  • Late Night Safe Rides: Stops include campus, northside off-campus housing and downtown. Safe Rides operates from 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday nights.

Bus service will be free to anyone with a valid TitanCard. Oshkosh residents not affiliated with the University may ride these routes by paying a $0.75 fare. The Safe Rides bus is always free.

    I'm delighted to hear about this as a staff member who uses the buses as well. When will the service start up and when will route maps be published?

    More people will take the bus if they can count on using it later in the evening. Good move. It might be helpful to post on the UW site a link to the bus route map. Another map might highlight the routes with extended hours. Or is something like that here already, and I just haven't spotted it? On another note, we need more bicycle racks. I ride a bike to work, and I am always finding the racks full until snow fall. In front of Clow, Halsey, and Swart, I have had to use fences and such for mooring.
