Route 1 Leatherneck Express connects the North side and the South side of campus together via Western Ave.  The Route starts at Lincoln Hall Cutout and travels to Corbin/Olson, then up the hill to Brown, back down to the Library, Stipes, Morgan and Waggoner Hall on Western, then continues to Western Hall on University, finally arriving at Q-Lot all on the "Purple" side of the road, where it turns around and comes back the way it came on the "Gold" side.  When it reaches Linconln Hall it contiues East and travels up to Johnson Street, where it turns north to Murray, then West back to Charles, then past University village to Adams, turning north to return to its starting place at Lincoln Hall Cutout.

How does it work?

Two buses crisscross this route, providing a bus every 12 minutes.  During Class Exchanges, 15 Brown helps the Gold side at about :51 at Thompson, while 1 Purple helps the Purple side starting at at Elting at :47 and Lincoln at :50.  This provides extra coverage during these peak times.
