Bus stops moved during construction in University Station bus loop

Starting November 2, Construction in the University Bus loop will result in a change of pick up spots for Routes 5 - Niagara Kenmore, 19 - Bailey, and 81 - Eastside Express. Routes 5 and 81 bus stops will move to a temporary stop near the current boarding area. Route 19 buses will stop and board at the entrance of University Station. Look for temporary signs "Bus Stop Here" posted in the loop for your bus pick up spot. Accessibility Information Passengers who require elevator access to University Rail Station have two options: - Kiss & Ride entrance: Enter the Rail Station through the entrance near the Kiss & Ride, (accessible parking lot) located southeast of the station near Main Circle and Hayes Road. - Pedestrian detour: Follow the posted signs directing passengers along the accessible pedestrian route. Passengers who need accessible boarding or additional assistance should allow extra time to navigate the temporary arrangements. See the attached map. Passengers walking to the University Loop from the Park and Ride must follow the temporary pedestrian detour during construction. Use the crosswalk in front of the University Loop.
