A Beginner's Guide To Indiana University's Bus System

If you know me at all, you know that I refuse to walk anywhere. Not only do I live off campus, but I just really, really hate walking, especially when there's a system to transport me where I need to go. So here it is, folks: a complete guide that will get you anywhere on Indiana University's campus. You're welcome!


The first step is to download the DoubleMap application on your smartphone. It will come in handy when maneuvering between the different routes. There's four different bus routes that Indiana University supports. Those are the A, B, E and X buses. They all go in circles around the different parts of campus. If you're looking for off campus transportation, please check out bloomingtontransit.com!

A Bus

The A bus is my home, because it was the only bus that stops in front of my dorm for last year. Here are the following stops for the A Bus (and in order):

1. Starts at the Stadium 2. Alumni Hall 3. Briscoe 4. Mcnutt 5. Kelley 6. Wells 7. Neal Marshall 8. 3rd and Jordan 9. Jordan Hall 10. Mauer School of Law 11. Kirkwood 12. IMU 13. Collins 14. Psychology 15. Kelley 16. McNutt 17. Briscoe 18. Alumni Hall 19. Ends at the Stadium

You can see how the A Bus route goes in a clockwise circle around campus!

B Bus

For all the Greek residents of IU, the B bus will take you to some of IU's hot spots, but also to the Greek houses on campus. Here are the following stops for the B Bus (and in order):

1. Starts at Fisher Court 2. ZBT 3. Balfour 4. Kappa Sigma 5. Jordan and 17th 6. Lingelbach Lane 7. Kappa Delta 8. 10th and Jordan 9. Neal Marshall 10. 3rd and Jordan 11. Jordan Hall 12. Mauer School of Law 13. Jordan Garage 14. Wells Library 15. SRSC 16. Lingelbach Lane 17. Delta Chi 18. Chi Omega 19. Balfour 20. ZBT 21. Ends at Fisher Court

For the most part, the B Bus route goes up and down Jordan, but also across 3rd street and around Atawater!

E Bus

If you live on the southeast part of campus, the E Bus is for you! Here are the following stops for the E Bus (and in order):

1. Starts at Evermann 2. Bicknell 3. Hepburn Apartment 4. Campus View 5. Union and 10th 6. Union and 7th 7. Willkie 8. Forest 9. 3rd and Jordan 10. Jordan Hall 11. Mauer School of Law 12. Kirkwood 13. IMU 14. Collins 15. Psychology 16. School of Education 17. Union and 7th 18. Eigenmann 19. Campus View 20. Nutt Apartment 21. Bicknell 22. Evermann Redbud 23. Ends at Evermann

The E Bus also goes around campus in a clockwise circle!

X Bus

The X Bus route is the shortest bus route of Indiana. Here are the following stops for the X Bus (and in order):

1. Starts at the Stadium 2. Hutton Honors College 3. IU Auditorium 4. IMU 5. Ends at the Stadium

Like I said, it's the shortest route, but since it's more direct, you can take the bus directly from the stadium to the IMU without going all the way around campus like the A Bus does!

I hope you found this guide helpful and that you will also enjoy riding and not walking... Next time, please look for An Advanced Guide to the Bloomington Transit System.

Here is more information on the IU Bus System's schedules.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
