LSU asks students to rename shuttle service

The new name for Campus Transit is intended to clear up any confusion between the call-in shuttle service and the university’s bus service Tiger Trails. The name will appear on the shuttles once two new vehicles are added to the fleet.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge’s call-in shuttle service, Campus Transit, will soon have a new, student selected name. The change is intended to clear up any confusion between Campus Transit and the university’s bus service Tiger Trails, reports The Daily Reveille.

In late October, the university’s Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation sent out a broadcast email to students soliciting suggestions to rename the service. The new name will mostly likely appear on the vehicles at the end of the semester when two new, smaller minibuses will expand the fleet’s size from four to six vehicles.
