Blacksburg Service Levels

BT adjusts service levels in Blacksburg to correspond with the Virginia Tech academic calendar – “Full Service” when Virginia Tech is in session, e.g. fall and spring semesters, and “Reduced Service” during most other times. The definitions and hours of operation of each can be found below:

Full Service - This is our peak service operated during the fall and spring semesters. During Full Service all routes are in operation with the most frequent service, typically every 10-15 minutes between 7 AM and 7 PM. Buses generally run until after midnight or later, depending on the day.

Intermediate Service - On these days routes operate the same hours as Full Service, but there may be fewer routes in service and/or lower frequency. “Intermediate” service days are typically found near the beginning or end of a semester, check the service calendar for more details.

Reduced Service - This service operates during university break periods, e.g. Winter, Spring and Summer breaks. Compared to full service there are typically fewer routes in service, shorter hours of operation and less frequency.

Holiday Service - This service operates around the holidays, e.g. the day after Thanksgiving and the weekdays between Christmas and New Years Day. The hours of operation are the same as Reduced, however there are fewer routes in service.
