Wegmans bus

The Student Association-funded bus will shuttle SU students to Target and Wegmans. Where: College Place When: 1 p.m. Saturday How much: Free Wegmans beginning Saturday. If all goes well, SA plans to run the bus every Saturday until April 30, excluding March 12 and 19 because of

Spring Break, said Taylor Carr, chair of SA’s Student Life Committee. There are more than 960 people attending the event on Saturday, according to the Facebook page made for the event, but Carr said he doubts that many people will actually be there. The first bus will leave College Place at 1 p.m. It will then travel to Goldstein Student Center to pick up students who live on South Campus

and arrive at the Target in Fayetteville, the first stop, at 1:28 p.m., Carr said. The bus will then travel to the Wegmans in Dewitt, arriving at 1:40 p.m. The bus will run loops to these four locations until the last bus leaves College Place at 5 p.m. The final loop will pick up students from Target at 6:28 p.m. and from Wegmans at 6:40 p.m. It will arrive at College Place at 7 p.m.
