Lamar University

During the regular semester, the Lamar University Shuttle Service is available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students are transported by shuttle to various campus places. On Saturdays from 12 to 4:20 pm during a typical semester, it offers transportation to Parkdale Mall. Biking is a clean means of transportation that eliminates the need to manufacture, maintain, and dispose of automobiles. When compared to private vehicles and public transportation, it is a more affordable form of mobility. Operating a bike is free, and maintaining one is reasonably priced. The shuttle service at Lamar University transports students to a variety of sites, including apartments, retail centres, and dorms.
