For people who don’t have a sober driver or money for a taxi, there is another option for getting home after a late night at the bars or a party: the 18 NightRider bus loop. This CityBus loop runs every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8:55 pm to 1:55 pm. The bus looks exactly like the one pictured below, except it says “NightRider” instead of Purdue West, and it will most likely be dark out when you see it.
Stops include residential areas such as Tower Acres, Windsor Halls, and Third Street Suites. The loop can take you home from numerous popular late night destinations including Chauncey Hill, Wabash Landing, and downtown Lafayette. For people desiring to do some programming after a night of drinking, the bus stops at the Lawson Computer Science Building. If you’d rather hang out in the Stack, you can also get off the bus at the Stewart Center. For those living at Triangle Fraternity, the bus also stops directly across the street. For anyone looking to lift weights (not a good idea after a night out), the bus can let you off at the CoRec. For fans of Franks (which should be everybody) looking for the best late night hot dogs and fries, this loop stops right by Pierce Street.
The NightRider bus isn’t only for people coming home from bars. For the people under 21 wanting to observe the Purdue after-bar experience, or just see drunk people trying (sometimes failing) to get on a bus (and forgetting to get off). But whatever your reason for riding the bus, the nightrider is definitely something everybody at Purdue does at some point in their college career, whether just for fun or actually to get home after a night at the bars.
