Campus Area Bus Service (CABS) is a free public transportation system at the Ohio State University's Columbus campus. The system consists of five bus routes that connect various points of Ohio State's campus, and the immediate off-campus area. The system connects with the Central Ohio Transit Authority's bus routes at several points.[4]
The system is one of the largest campus transit systems in the United States.[5] Ridership has grown from 4 million passengers in 2003 to an estimated 5 million passengers in 2015.[6][2]
