ATrain question for Rice

[Harry]

Any word on if the ATrain is running any promotions for the Rice game...?

Seems like with all the traffic on 35 Thursday night it might be a good idea to promote it as an option. Not saying they have to do it for free or anything but just having a shuttle between the square and Fouts bridge would be helpful.

I know from the few times I have taken the A Train to work that there is a bus shuttle from the downtown Denton depot to fouts field. I have no idea how late the return route runs though.

Except for a previous game and Homecoming, there were no plans for shuttle service to the stadium and regular service ends at 6:00 PM. This game should have been included. Harry is correct, this thing needs to be promoted. No one wants to get on 1-35 during the week unless it is absolutely necessary. Coordination between UNT and the City of Denton when it comes to UNT events is is a concept that neither entity seems to understand.

I am bringing my dad to the game while in town to visit my parents. I wanted to take the train from Carrollton but sounds like no shuttle, is that correct.

A train is run by the county as in Denton County Transit Authority. They are running in the red as it is anyway.

Harry it will most likely be a regularly scheduled day since its a week day. You can take several buses from the station to campus but not so much the stadium. The closest is probably the 8 train that stops by sack and save

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

They have too many commuters taking it normally during the week to do a promotion I'd assume

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

8 bus** sorry

From what I can tell, if you plan on training it, the A train doesn't run late enough on a Thursday to get you back to Dart after the game. Last train leaving Denton is pre-9:00PM.

I know one guy who will take it there and hitch a ride back just to miss the traffic.
