UPDATED: MITS and Trolley Routes and Info

MITS will provide shuttle service for the Lyndenbrook area to Muncie Gras. There is no charge to ride the shuttle.

The buses will not be able to come into the parking lots, but will stop at the driveways of all the hotels along the route. Customers will need to be waiting for the buses at the street.

The bus will come by approximately every 30 minutes, starting at 7:00 p.m. The event ends at 2:00 a.m. Shuttles will continue for about an hour, until it looks like everyone is gone.

Hotel visitors should check with the front desk for specific pickup locations. Apartment complex dwellers should use normal MITS bus stops.

MITS will provide a safe ride to and from Muncie Gras from 7pm-3am along the following routes:

We have changed our campus route for Muncie Gras to include Riverside. Hopefully this change will help more people take advantage of this fabulous free and safe ride to the event. Catch the trolley at any MITS bus stop along this route:
