No one really likes riding the CATA buses. It's usually crowded, the app is almost always inaccurate, and it's often just as quick to walk from Point A to B. But we put up with it anyways, and find ourselves consistently sandwiched between the same types of people.
If you've tried to use the CATA mobile application today, you might be wondering why there are no buses running in State College. Sure, the app isn't usually a reliable indicator of when to leave your dorm at the last possible second to catch a White Loop, but its better than nothing.

Welcome freshmen! I see you’ve survived your first month here as a Penn State student. By now you’ve undoubtedly Instagrammed a photo of Old Main, argued or watched someone argue with the Willard Preacher, eaten a West cookie and told 13 different people the same uninteresting story about just how drunk you were last weekend and how much you can’t even (Don’t worry, we’ve noticed your progress). Staples of your first month in Happy Valley, no doubt.

Running every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, the campus shuttle offers free transportation to 23 stops on campus. Notable stops include East Halls, the library, and the business building.
