Stop 215 – UNC Asheville at Governors Hall
Stop 216 – UNC Asheville at Zeis Hall
Stop 987 – UNC Asheville at Brown Hall

Please note, due to time constraints we are unable to access the campus along another route.  The N1 & N2 routes both interline with another route and a delay would cause a domino effect along these routes.  The University is currently utilizing shuttles to transport individuals around campus.  The closest bus stops to the campus, 212 & 217, located at the intersection of W.T. Weaver Boulevard and Barnard Avenue remain in service.
