New Yale Medical School Nighttime Shuttle Service

In June 2015, we began offering nighttime shuttle service at the School of Medicine that services addresses south of Elm St. and go east, west, and south to our current boundaries in the Dwight/Howe and Wooster Square neighborhoods.

People needing rides to the Prospect and East Rock neighborhoods should continue to use the Blue and Orange lines.

If you live in the boundary and want a ride in, please call 203-432-6330 and a ride will be scheduled to coincide with the vehicle making the runs. The ideal times to call are right before the vehicle departs.

Buses leave the lot at 333 Cedar Street and Whitney/Humphrey at 6:00 p.m. and run at 30 minute intervals until 1:00 a.m. (last bus leaves 333 Cedar at 12:45). Starting at 6 p.m., door-to-door service is available north of Sachem Street. The door-to-door service area is indicated by the dotted line. 

There are now two shuttle stop locations in front of Union Station. If the stop directly in front of the station is congested, shuttle drivers pick up in front of the parking garage. Please look for Shuttles in both locations.
