To explore the redesigned network in greater detail, click the Reimagine CityBus button below. This opens our interactive platform, powered by Remix, where you can:

• View detailed route maps and schedules
• Use mobility tools to explore service coverage
• Leave comments directly on the map

At the top center of the screen, select either “Regular Service (Purdue Out of Session)” or “Expanded Service (Purdue In Session)” to see how service changes with the academic calendar. This route operates only during the Expanded Service calendar when Purdue is in academic session during the Fall and Spring semesters as noted below.
