The mission of the Drexel University Shuttle Service is to provide transportation for students as a means of enhancing safety between campuses. This service includes four fixed bus routes, Blue, Gold, Dragon, and Queen Lane. These services operate from 5:30am to 1:15am Monday through Friday. During off peak service hours of 8pm to 11:30pm these routes operate at 30-minute intervals. Weekend service from 4:15pm to 11:15pm operates only on University City Main Campus.

The routes and stops have been designed to allow easy access to Hagerty Library, academic buildings, General Services Building, Drexel Parking Garage, residence halls, popular student housing areas, local eateries, Creese Student Center, Vidas Athletic Complex, shopping areas, Queen Lane Medical Campus, and Hahnemann University Hospital at 15th and Race Streets. This service connects with local Public Transportation services such as 30th Street Station for Amtrak rail service, SEPTA service subways and light rail trolleys to Center City Philadelphia and Regional Rail train service to Philadelphia International Airport.

The Dragon Route is an express service Monday through Friday, from 33rd and Market Streets (Nesbitt Hall) to 15th and Race Streets (Center City Campus), beginning at 5:45 a.m. and ending at 9:30 p.m.

The Queen Lane Shuttle runs in a continuous loop between the Queen Lane Campus and Hahnemann University Hospital, and has three stops: Queen Lane, the Main Circle driveway at MCP Hospital, and Martinelli Park located near Broad and Vine Streets. Queen Lane Shuttles are slightly different from Drexel Shuttles, as they will have the Hahnemann Logo on the side instead of the Drexel Dragon. Drexel shuttles that travel in University City will NOT use this route.

Drexel students are allowed to ride the PennBus East and West routes with a valid Drexel ID (note - these are not escort buses, but fixed bus routes) -

PennBus West buses run in the evenings from 4:46PM to 12:00AM, Monday through Friday, serving West Philadelphia (along Baltimore Ave., Springfield Ave., 48th St., and Spruce St.).
PennBus East buses run in the evenings between 5:00PM and 12:00AM, Monday through Friday, serving Center City (along Chestnut St., 23rd St., South St., 20th St. and Walnut St.). Persons may also wait at any corner or the 20th and Locust Streets WAWA Store Pickup Point, or the Left Bank entrances on Chestnut or Walnut Streets for a return to campus.

Special markings permit easy shuttle identification from a distance. Students, staff, and faculty are allowed unlimited usage at no charge. Upon boarding a shuttle bus, all students, staff and faculty are required to present a valid Drexel University ID to the driver.

Limited holiday services: During university holidays the shuttle services will be operating at a reduced service. There will only be one vehicle per routine, one full trip ever half an hour.
