New and improved N-E Ride buses are now in use.

Two new Arrow buses serve as the primary shuttles for the college.

The updated College of Engineering design will make them easy to spot and include WiFi, a wheelchair lift and other amenities.

In addition, the N-E Ride shuttles provide many benefits to the riders and the UNL community, including:

* By carrying 50 riders a day, the shuttles save about 2,840 miles of driving per day - roughly the distance on Interstate 80 between San Francisco and Philadelphia.

* Weekly, those savings equate to more than 14,000 miles of driving.

* With the WiFi on the buses, riders can maintain their productivity by continuing to work during the hour-long ride instead of having to concentrate on driving.

* Anyone with an NU system ID card may use the shuttle.

* The status of the buses can be tracked using a smartphone app (for iPhone or Android) or by going online (nebraskaengineering/ridesystems.net).
