AUGUST 25, 2018-ANNOUNCING THE BRITBUS SERVICE!!
Beginning August 27, 2018, the Office of Campus Safety will begin the BritBus service to provide a more convenient way for students to go to and from campus and businesses and services located downtown and on North Eaton St. in the city of Albion.
How Does BritBus Work?
BritBus will operate most days while classes are in session, and will make scheduled stops at designated locations on and off campus several times each day. Since BritBus will operate on a regular schedule, students will just go to one of the designated stops at the scheduled time to meet the BritBus, rather than calling Campus Safety to request a ride. Students will also be able to track the BritBus location using the myAlbion app (tap Resources, then BritBus) so that they will know when they will be picked up at a designated stop. The BritBus location can also be tracked at www.albion.edu/britbus . Be sure and use the ‘reload page’ button to get updated information the BritBus location.

The BritBus will stop at the following locations on campus to pick up students eight times each day:
