Beaver Bus starts up tonight

Thanks to the ASOSU and the City of Corvallis, a new service will be available for both OSU students and residents of Corvallis who are out and about late at night. The Beaver Bus will provide rides Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. The service is free for OSU students; other Corvallis citizens will pay 75 cents per ride.

Obviously, this is aimed toward preventing drunk driving and providing safe rides home for those who need 'em. But this is also very convenient for those residents who work non-traditional hours (like yours truly) and haven't been able to use public transportation because regular city bus hours end at 6 p.m.

For more information on where the bus stops, call 737-9147. There are orange signs up for the official Beaver Bus stops, but the bus will also stop at regular CTS stops as needed.
