Fresno State’s Bulldog Shuttle making student life easier one ride at a time.
Looking for parking spots, paying parking permits, and paying for gas are all issues Fresno State students face.
With the addition of the Bulldog Shuttle, students now have the opportunity to climb aboard, flash their IDs and get a ride for free anywhere around campus.
The shuttle makes getting around campus safer and faster for all students to ride, especially those without transportation.
Student athlete Kyndol Craver has a tough time getting around without it.
“So I started riding the shuttle because I didn’t have a car coming back this school year, and it was very convenient to get to school instead of having to walk, like before the shuttle wasn’t here,” said Craver.
Kimberley Efonye is an international student athlete, who runs for the Fresno State track team. She also has to get around without a car.
“For me being an international student, the shuttle has made my life way easier,” Efonye says. “I live right at Palazzo, and it makes my life convenient because it drops me off right at school and at the athlete building. For not having a car it’s great. Even if I had a car, I would save money on gas.”
Shuttle bus driver Jesse Valles says he takes pride in driving students around knowing they are much safer.
“I enjoy driving the bus every day when I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face, knowing that it’s not hard working labor. I could take the students to school and back home safe, make sure they get a good quality education,” Valles says.
The shuttle is available for students Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and stops at Bulldog Lane & Millbrook Avenues, Millbrook & Barstow Avenues, The Student Athlete Village, Campus Drive at North Gym, Save Mart Center parking lot, and Campus Pointe in front of Palazzo.
