Go East, young man, go east!

Those may not have been J.B. Grinnell's words, but then J.B. didn't have access to Burlington Trailways.

Burlington Trailways is now providing bus service * for Grinnell students to Chicago and destinations en route.

• The bus will depart the Rosenfield Center on 8th Ave. at 3:55 p.m. sharp each Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and arrive at the downtown Chicago terminal (630 W. Harrison) at 10:10 p.m. The bus also stops in Naperville (4th and Ellsworth) at approx. 9:30 p.m.
  
  
• The return trip each Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday departs Chicago at 4 p.m. sharp and arrives in Grinnell at 10:20 p.m.

One-way fare is $45.50, or $91 roundtrip. Students may make an online reservation in advance, or pay cash to the driver at pickup.

• Online reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance; there is a $4 additional fee for online reservations. To make online reservations go to: www.burlingtontrailways.com; choose "Grinnell IA" from the departure menu; return trip reservations can also be made at the same time.
  
  
• Travelers who pay "at the door" must pay exact change ($45.50 one-way) directly to the driver; no checks or credit/debit cards accepted.

The pick up times are strict in order to keep the bus on schedule so it is important to arrive early for both the Grinnell pick up and the return trip from Chicago. The bus will stop only 5 minutes at the Rosenfield Center for pickup and dropoff.

The new Trailways weekly service is in addition to the Hamilton Travel break service which will continue to be offered for fall, winter and spring breaks as well as the end of school year.

Questions about the new Trailways service should be referred to: tolson@burlingtontrailways.com.

* Grinnell College is not responsible for any part of this service. Students who miss the bus to or from Chicago are responsible for their own transportation.
