Best of all, it's FREE to students or faculty/staff with valid ETSU ID. Others (campus visitors, general public) may also ride, paying a fare of $1.00 per one-way trip. Study the BUCSHOT routes and schedules (list of stops/times) in the above link.

BICYCLISTS:  JCT's newest buses are equipped with bicycle racks on the front of the bus, onto which you may load your bicycle.  You may bring your bicycle on board any older JCT bus, which is not equipped with outside bicycle racks.  This connects bicyclists to the ETSU campus and the areas of Johnson City covered by the JCT fixed route.
