Temple Inter-campus Bus Service Advisory

All students are required to reserve a seat on the inter-campus bus. The link for the reservation system can be found here. See intructions for reserving your seat here. 

Please contact megan.cranney@temple.edu or call 267-468-8423 with any questions.

Temple University’s top priority is the safety of our students and bus drivers while continuing to offer reliable transportation between the Main Campus and the Ambler Campus. Beginning Fall semester, we will follow guidelines provided by local, state and federal government as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Please take note of the following information as you prepare to ride on the Temple inter-campus bus system. 

The Spring 2021 semester service will begin on Tuesday, January 19th and end on Monday, April 26th.  

• Students must display their OWLcard upon boarding the bus.

• Until further notice all buses will only be filled to less than 50% capacity (9 passengers).  For those departures that should have more than 9 passengers, a reserve bus will be available at the same departure time.

• Due to COVID-19 precautions, and to allow for contact tracing, all students will be required to tap their ID when they board. 

• To maintain social distancing in the bus, there will be seats marked as unavailable.  Riders will use those seats indicated as available.

• All riders are required to wear a face covering when on board.  Students will not be permitted to ride without a face mask.

• Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before traveling and again when you reach your destination.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid contact with high-touch areas when possible.

• The University will be putting an emphasis on disinfecting surfaces that are frequently touched after each trip .

These are challenging times for all of us and the University hopes that we can work together for everyone’s safety and well-being.

This bus is intended to accommodate students traveling between campuses. Staff and faculty may use this service, space permitting. This service is available Monday-Friday during the Fall and Spring semesters.  There is no service during the winter break and spring break periods, or during the summer. Each person must present a valid Temple ID when boarding.
