News

Effective May 2: Please be aware that due to work by ConEdison, there has been intermittent street closure of 131st Street. To make shuttle service easy and safe for the Studebaker community, we've moved the Studebaker (South) Shuttle stop to West 131st Street and Broadway until further notice. In addition, the Prentiss stop will be at 568 West 125th Street for AM and PM service, and at McDonald's for midday service.

Effective Tuesday, May 8: The main entrance to the Studebaker building will be relocated to the north side of the building on West 132nd Street for a period of approximately 14 months due to the closure of West 131st Street. As a result, the Intercampus Shuttle stops will change. Heading northbound, the "Studebaker North" stop location will be relocated to the NE corner of Broadway and 132nd Street. Heading southbound, the "Studebaker South" stop location will be relocated to the new West 132nd Street Studebaker Building entrance (on the north side of the street in front of the MTA security booth).

Morningside Heights Evening Shuttle Bus Service will be introduced for Columbia University community members early in the Fall 2011 term. This shuttle service, which replaces point-to-point vehicular escorts, operates seven days a week from 6:00pm every evening until 4:00am the following morning and utilizes two shuttle buses traveling on different routes, in thirty minute loops across the Morningside and Manhattanville areas.

  • The Evening Shuttle service is now serving Fairway Market using stop #6 on their red route.
