A new purple bus began rolling through downtown Akron on Monday morning.
Metro RTA, along with the University of Akron, has launched DASH, a free shuttle for students and the general public.
The bus takes over UA’s Roo Express west loop.
It runs from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays.
The shuttle runs every 10 minutes between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and every 15 minutes during the other hours.
The schedule is available online at akronmetro.org.
DASH also is sponsored by the city of Akron, Downtown Akron Partnership and GPD Group.
