BreakShuttle’s service is scheduled to depart from Kroger Field at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26 to return on Sunday, Dec. 1. The buses depart and arrive between BCTC and Kroger Field, close to the entrance of the Green Lot. The BreakShuttle website allows people to purchase one-way tickets, so those interested in a return trip will also need to purchase the return trip option.
More information about schedules, prices and links to purchase tickets, can be found here.
Students can use the Blue or White Routes to get to Kroger Field on November 26. Those returning to Kroger Field will be able to take the Yellow Route (#27) back to the broader campus on Sunday, Dec. 1.
