# Tiger Transit

TigerTransit is the Princeton University shuttle bus service in and around its campus in Princeton, New Jersey and other nearby areas of Mercer County. TigerTransit operates nine routes within the campus and around the city of Princeton. WeDriveU operates the service.

## Routes

All TigerTransit routes are free of charge and open to the public. Main routes (1-4) only operate on during the daytime on weekdays, with two routes (N5/6) providing daily late night service and three routes (W5/6, WS) providing weekend-only service. The Princeton Junction branch of Route 4 essentially functions as an alternative to the Princeton Branch. The Weekend Shopper (WS) route combines service around much of the Princeton campus with service along US-1 to shopping centers in Princeton, West Windsor, and Lawrenceville.

The route list is current as of the Spring 2025 semester. Routes prefixed with W are weekend routes; routes prefixed with N are late-night routes.

## Fleet

The Princeton University TigerTransit fleet is operated by WeDriveU, which has operated the service since February 2021 when the former operator First Transit lost their contract. The initial fleet under WeDriveU consisted of 14 New Flyer D40LF transit buses from Orange County Transportation Authority and various Ford cutaways. All former OCTA New Flyer D40LFs have since been replaced by fully electric buses (NFI XE35 CHARGE NG), and the Ford cutaways are expected to be replaced as well in 2025.
