Tiger Transit is the Princeton University shuttle service in and around its campus in Princeton and other nearby areas of Mercer County, New Jersey. Tiger Transit operates seven routes within the campus and around the city of Princeton. We Drive U operates the service.[1][2][3]

Routes[]

All Tiger Transit routes are free of charge, and with the exception of Route 5, which only operates on weekends, only operate on weekdays. Routes 1, 2, and 3 are open to the public and serve various areas around the greater Princeton area. Route 4 essentially functions as an alternative to the Princeton Branch, locally known as the Dinky, and therefore is only available to University ID holders. Route 5, officially known as the Weekend Shopper, combines service around most of the Princeton campus areas with service along US-1 to the Windsor Green and West Windsor Plaza malls in West Windsor, and the Nassau Park Mall in Clarksville.[1]
