A shuttle bus system was used for many years to help students get around but it was unable to provide very good service because of heavy auto congestion and narrow, hilly roads. Extensive testing then took place and it was opened for passenger service in 1975. In 1978, the system was shut down so that Phase II could be constructed. The system now connects the main downtown campus with the Morgantown central business district and the two suburban campuses along a linear alignment. The total system includes 8.7 miles of guideway and 5 stations.
All stations are off-line.
The system can be operated in either a scheduled or demand-responsive mode, depending on the predictability of demand. A photo of one of the system's stations is shown below. A set of excellent, more recent color photos is also available. To see more detailed maps of the system, click HERE .
