Public Service Announcement: Take the Shuttle. Get Blasted.

Seriously folks, you should really consider taking the Next Big Shuttle Bus around town tonight as you soak your brain in booze and tunes. It's safe, it's free, it's convenient and waaaay better than getting a D.U.I. Plus, they do actually show up every fifteen minutes. Ruthie, the driver that seemed to show up everytime I needed to get somewhere, is totally awesome. Breathalyzer tests—totally not. The shuttle only runs ’til midnight, but there's plenty of cabs and it really doesn't cost much when you split the fare with some friends. I saw a ton of po-po lurking on the fringe of the action as I rode the shuttle last night, just waiting to bust some poor unsuspecting rock fan. Don't be that dude.

Now I'm going to get back to my cubicle and nurse this motherfucker of a hangover....

If you're planning on hopping the shuttle at Exit/In and getting dropped off at LimeLight or the 5 Spot, you're going to have to find another plan. The shuttles aren't going over the bridge, although the guy driving me offered to drop me at LimeLight with the understanding that he wouldn't be coming back.

Left hanging at 12th and Porter....
Last night we took the shuttle to go from Exit-In to 12th and Porter around 11:30. At 12:30 we were back on the curb waiting to get a ride back to where our vehicle was. They were suposed to run every 15 mins till 1 AM. We waited past 1:00 AM and no shuttle to be found. We finally paid for a taxi and my faith in the shuttle system was totally shattered.
Cool idea but not cool when you're counting on a ride back to your car.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

The shuttles stopped last night at 12:00, they go later tonight and tomorrow. I don't recall how long they'll be running, but I believe it's until around 2AM.

Ahhh ok, thanks I appreciate the info. Well, then I'll give 'em a whirl tonight. (Ha, I wish I knew that last night.)

When all else fails, flag down a shuttle and ask the driver. They know what's up.
