<\/a>Bilkent Transportation Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

To\/From Downtown Ankara<\/strong>
\nThere is a free shuttle service from both the Main and East Campuses to two convenient locations, S\u0131hhiye and Tunus, in downtown Ankara (with hourly service daily, including evenings and weekends).<\/p>\n

The downtown bus service is free with your Bilkent student or personnel ID.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Main Campus Bus Service (Ring)
\n<\/strong>There is also a free shuttle bus service with a route running the length of the Main Campus, starting from the faculty housing area and continuing past the classroom buildings up to the student dormitories. The buses run at 20-minute intervals, and stop at points along the route marked with a sign reading \u201cRING.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inter-Campus Bus Service (Ring)<\/strong>
\nAn additional free shuttle service connects Main and East campuses, with buses running every 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Note: Most students walk to class from the dormitories. It can be easier and faster than other forms of transportation at times, and is a pleasant way to get to know the campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
