FLIGHT: More stops at Charles Library and North Loop changes
The shuttle system will now:
- Include a stop at Charles Library in all loops after an increase of students requesting the stop. The Charles Library is the largest trip originator and trip destination in the whole system.
- The program operates three loops every day from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. to target the entirety of the Temple University Police patrol zone. In the newest updates of its map, the program has directed all loops to go through 13th Street before turning onto Diamond Street.
- The biggest changes have been applied to the North loop, which covers the off-campus housing section of the patrol zone. The farthest point of the loop is the stop on the corner of 18th and Diamond Streets.
