NiteRide Routes

NiteRide/Late NiteRide Schedules/Routes

NiteRide/Late Niteride have a Blue & Red route. The Blue route does not operate on Sunday.

You do not need to be at a point where a bus-stop sign is located in order to board a bus. The bus driver will stop and allow you to board or alight the bus at any corner where it is safe to stop. If the driver cannot stop at the point you wish to board or alight the bus, the driver will stop at the nearest possible location where it is safe to make the stop.

If the point at which you plan to board the bus is not listed under the heading “Bus leaves,” you may estimate the time that the bus will be passing that point by noting the time to the right of the listed bus stop that immediately precedes your boarding point.

The "Red Route" will run from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Sunday. From approximately 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., NiteRide operates only between Raab Road and the Illinois State Student Recreation Building at 500 N. Beech Street.

Note the following schedule when traveling to or from College Hills Mall or any point west of the Student Recreation Building:

  • Last bus from Raab Road to College Hills Mall leaves Raab Road at 10:17 p.m. and arrives at College Hills Mall at 10:52 p.m.
  • Last bus from College Hills Mall to Raab Road leaves College Hills Mall at 11:00 p.m.

The "Blue Route" will run from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday (with one bus only) through campus as shown on the map.
