Are you planning to offer a shuttle to Washington, DC for spring break?
We are currently trying to find a way to reach more students who are interested in going to DC, we had no luck for winter term

Jasper Perry-Anderson will get off and on in White Haven PA.
Noted, thanks for the info!
Just the obvious question: does the College’s decision this afternoon to cancel classes and effectively evacuate the campus after Spring Break affect your buses? Specifically: I’m interested in only a one-way trip out of campus on the 21st to Chicago. Will that be changed? (I have to think that you will cancel the return trips, but I hope that the trips out to Chicago, NY, etc., will proceed as planned.)
Are you considering changing the date of the shuttle since classes let out 3/18?
Here is our most up to date information on Shuttle U Home
Since the college has made a final decision to close campus on Monday the 16th we have some very important updates for our shuttles.
–Oberlin Shuttle U Home is now planning to depart Oberlin College on MONDAY MARCH 16TH. for both NYC and CHI. We will be leaving out of Wilder Hall at 12 NOON and will send another email on Saturday the 14th with more info on those shuttles–
As of now Oberlin Shuttle U Home running back from NYC and CHI is still up in the air, when the college decides to resume classes and open campus back up we will provide an update on the return trip.
Since we previously didn’t expect many students to bring a lot of luggage home for spring break we weren’t charging for extra bags. But since the news hit we are receiving many requests for extra bags and have created a option to pay for your extra bag due to highway safety regulations. You are allowed one backpack or carry-on bag and one suitcase or bag to go underneath the bus, any bag after that will be extra and you can purchase at the link below.
Since these shuttles are based on a passenger count, at this time we cannot offer any refunds for your tickets. However, we can try to sell your ticket last minute to those students on our waiting list and if successful we can refund you. To be added to our potential refund list please email us directly with your First, last name and ticket type. We will be trying this on a first come first serve basis.
Tickets are also still available for both cities you can purchase them at the links below.
We will continue to provide updates and if you have any specific questions you can call or email us directly at 216-322-4464 or Jpirapak@gmail.com.
We will be getting back to those who emailed regarding a refund in the next day or so while we try to move all of our staffs schedules around for the week early departure from campus.
Thank you to all for being patient and understanding, we are trying our best to get this situation dealt with and bring you home safe for spring break.
