MTD has recentely implented a new bus route, 21 Raven, catering specifically to University of Illinois students. Operating every 30 minutes on weekdays around the Quad, those on campus will avoid crowded buses and the possibility of being late. The 21 Raven route includes stops at PAR, Transit Plaza, Illini Union, and Krannert with free rides by iStops – except for going to and from the Vet-Med facility on the far southen reaches of campus.
From the CUMTD Blog:
Don’t get in a fret before class. Take a look at the 21 Raven route and see how it can serve as a resourceful alternative. It comes every 30 minutes on the weekdays from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. It circulates around the Quad and also serves the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine (a.k.a. Vet-Med).
For example, the 21 Raven will be at the Illini Union every hour at :12 and :42. A perfect time to head home after getting out of class! Every bus stop along the route is an iStop, excluding Vet-Med, making it easier to quickly board and go.
The Raven also operates in one big clockwise circle, so there is no need to concern yourself with east versus west and north versus south. If you want to beat the crowds on the 22 Illini, 12 Teal, and 13 Silver, the Raven is something to take advantage of!
