Will the Bluejay Bus take me to the shopping center at IL-83 and St. Charles?

No.  If you want to go to the shopping center on IL-83 and St. Charles simply get on the Elmhurst Terrace shuttle bus.  After the driver drops off the students at Elmhurst Terrace, the driver can swing into the shopping center and drop you off. To get back to campus, simply walk over to Elmhurst Terrace and take the next scheduled Elmhurst Terrace bus back to campus.

What if I want to be picked up after riding the Metra?

Simply walk to Downtown Elmhurst City Centre garage and catch the next scheduled stop for the Bluejay Bus.
 

PLEASE NOTE:

• Metra Drop-Offs will be made on Park Ave, across from the Metra Station while en-route to Elmhurst City Centre.
• Yorktown stops times are approximate and the shuttle cannot wait a long time.
• Passengers awaiting a return to EC will have to be waiting near the drop-off points when the shuttle arrives. Please be prompt. The bus will never depart early but can not wait around for late passengers.
• If changes to the schedule are needed, advance notice will be given in EC Daily News, in the Campus Security office, and in the shuttle buses.
• Traffic or weather conditions may cause one of the Bluejay Bus trips to take longer than the one hour scheduled. Since it is not possible for the driver to make up the lost time, a stop may be skipped so that the Bluejay Bus may depart from the Library and begin again at the top of the hour to get back on schedule.  Campus Security dispatch will be informed if this situation develops so please feel free to contact Campus Security with any questions. 630-617-3000
• This schedule is effective beginning January 9, 2009.
