NightRide The NightRide shuttles are free to all University students, faculty, staff, and University of Chicago Medicine staff. To ride the shuttles, all passengers must present a valid UChicago or University of Chicago Medicine ID when boarding.
HOURS NightRide operates seven nights a week (reduced service for holidays and summer). Sunday through Wednesday the shuttles run from 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday the shuttles run from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. The shuttles run approximately every 20-30 minutes, on the hour and half-hour.
STOPS For your safety and the safety of all passengers, flag stops can only occur at intersections. To flag a shuttle in between designated stops, customers should safely stand at the intersection to allow the shuttle to safely pull over. Remember, NightRide operates when it is dark outside, so it is important to be visible to the driver and indicate to him or her that you would like to board. To indicate a stop while on the shuttle, pull the cord or tell the driver. The driver will then stop at the next intersection.
