BUCSHOT Service (New Changes for Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 Semesters)

 

BUCSHOT is like having a car on campus, to get to class, work, the library, or visit friends, but without having to pay for gas or worry about parking. Best of all, trips on Bucshot are FREE!  Campus visitors and the general public may also ride Bucshot for free.

 

ETSU Students/Staff may also ride the entire JCT "regular" fixed route system free, with current ETSU ID, and travel to destinations throughout the City.  For JCT fixed route maps and stops Click here.

 

BUCSHOT route maps have a symbol (a yellow star inside a blue circle) to note where the route connects with a JCT "regular" fixed route stop (see maps below).  Take advantage of this great transportation system. It's good for the environment, the community, and you!

 

For real-time bus locations and stop times, please visit www.jctmyride.com. JCTmyride will help you view your bus and all other fixed route buses. Use Google trip planner to plan your trip using JCT fixed route service.

 

Note:  JCT prohibits anyone from riding Bucshot longer than one complete route loop without disembarking at a destination
