Wellesley- Olin - Babson Shuttle

Thanks to the collaboration between Olin College, Wellesley College and Babson College, a jointly funded shuttle will run between the three campuses. The shuttle will depart Olin at 22 and 52 minutes after the hour and operate on a half-hourly schedule from 7:40 am until 6:37 pm except during a lunch break from 12:07 pm through 12:40 pm. Monday through Friday, while Olin classes are in session.  The shuttle will be free of charge to the Olin community. The use of the shuttle will be reviewed each semester to make sure that it is financially viable to continue the service. The Olin-Wellesley Shuttle Schedule will be posted each semester and is subject to change. For more information please contact Courtney Sampson at Ext. 2312
