General Information
The Miami Metro Bus provides transportation around the Oxford campus, uptown, and to several off-campus student housing areas. Four main routes–Blue, Red, Green and Yellow–interconnect so passengers can ride within the area by transferring from one route to another. Shuttle routes from Millett and Ditmer parking lots provide service to the center of campus. Students, faculty, and staff may ride all Metro routes.
The buses operate daily during fall and spring semesters excluding University recognized holidays.
There is no Metro service during the summer.
