The shuttle bus is only for faculty, staff and students of Loyola University Chicago.
Catch the shuttle at the south end of Halas Field (Lake Shore) or 25 East Pearson St. (Water Tower). At the Water Tower Campus, the line for the shuttle forms inside 25 E. Pearson only (down the hallway leading to the Rubloff Auditorium).
Service operates on weekdays only, when classes are in session, during the academic year (no summer session service). It is available for Loyola students, faculty and staff only.
You must show your Loyola I.D. to ride the shuttle. U-Pass is not accepted for identification.
Priority seating is given to faculty and students going to class.
The Shuttle Service is a supplemental service to CTA. When the lines are long, use the Public Transportation.
LSC to WTC Schedule
Shuttle buses run a continuous loop between the Lake Shore Campus (LSC) and the Water Tower Campus (WTC), at approximately 20-minute intervals, Monday through Friday, starting at 7 a.m. from WTC. The final two shuttle buses of the day are scheduled to arrive at both campuses at 12:30 a.m. There is no shuttle service on Saturday or Sunday.
Under perfect conditions (good weather, no traffic), the shuttles will make the trip between WTC and LSC in less than half an hour. During peak travel periods or inclement weather, the trip may take longer. After 8:00 p.m. the buses run at approximately every 30 minutes.
There is an evening run to the Metra stations from the Water Tower Campus at 9:05 p.m. Monday through Friday during the academic year (no summer service).

Public Transportation
Loyola's Water Tower and Lake Shore Campuses are both located close to Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus and train routes, including the #147 and #151 buses, and the Red Line elevated train. To give students the full advantages of public transportation, Loyola participates in the CTA U-Pass program, which gives a student an unlimited number of rides aboard all CTA buses and trains, and eliminates the need to pay cash per ride.
