Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are shuttle buses available to airports on dates besides the three listed breaks?
A: No. There has not been sufficient demand/rider volume to make offering the service at other times cost effective.
Q: My flight times are too early/too late for the scheduled shuttle times to work. What are my other options?
A: A comprehensive list of other transportation options is found at www.miami .muohio.edu/parents/transportation.cfm
Q: Can I purchase a shuttle ticket to/from an airport without a booked flight?
A: Riders planning to fly are to provide their complete flight information (airline, flight number, flight time) when purchasing their shuttle tickets, as this information is used by drivers to expedite drop-off and pickup at the airports. Riders connecting to/from local rides may purchase shuttle tickets without providing flight information.
