Frequently asked questions

Why does my ticket say "free," and how do I pay for the trip?

Your ticket is marked "free" at reservation because we don’t process payments right away. The cost is $70 one way and you'll be billed through your student account after the service, using the UID you provide during sign-up. Credit cards are not accepted.

How much luggage can I bring?

Each passenger may bring up to two large suitcases (stored under the bus) and one backpack-sized carry-on for the overhead parcel racks. For safety reasons, electric scooters, bicycles, and similar items are not allowed on the bus.

Are your vehicles wheelchair accessible?

At this time, our vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. If you require an accessible travel option, please reach out to us at dotstrips@umd.edu, and we’ll be happy to assist in finding a suitable alternative.

What is the cancellation policy, and how do I cancel?

Plans changed? No problem! Cancel your ticket in Eventbrite or email dotstrips@umd.edu by Friday, March 21 to avoid billing. Cancellations after this date will not be accepted.
