The O.U.T.(Oxford University Transit)
Many people are extremely concerned about global warming and the admittance of car fumes into the air. With this growing concern, people are making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of driving time. To help those interested in helping in society, Oxford’s O.U.T. bus has created a great new alternative.
The O.U.T. Bus is a type of transportation in the city limits of Oxford, Mississippi. According to the Official City Website, there are 5 different routes and schedules. They are blue, red, green, yellow, and orange. Along every route there are bus signs along intersections and other stops.
All the different routes are used by students who are enthused about the bus services. According to one O.U.T. rider, the bus saves him a lot of money that he would e using for gas. Not only is her saving his money and not using his car, but he can use the O.U.T. bus service for free with his student I.D.
A member of the women’s Ole Miss Soccer team, Taylor Cunningham, finds the O.U.T. convenient. She likes the idea that she can wake up before she has to be ready and walk from her house across the street all in a matter of minutes. She thinks that it’s a great service. She said it makes her life and practice easier to go home without being worried about taking a car.
The overall sentiment of Oxford is that the O.U.T. bus is a great new edition. People can get around to just about any place in Oxford. There are many hotspots the O.U.T. travels to in Oxford. It stops at most apartment complexes including Campus Creek, The Exchange, Sterling, Old Taylor Place, and Lafayette Place. Various other essential stops around Oxford include the Ole Miss Campus, Wal-Mart, and the Square. Those are just a few of the many bus stops available to the citizens of Oxford.
O.U.T. is also a valuable resource for international students. The transportation service allows international students to have a mean to travel throughout Oxford. Many of these students have no vehicle to travel somewhere like Wal-Mart.
