A student choosing to study abroad in Berkeley and opting for off-campus student housing must be aware of the local commutes not just for their travel to and fro the university but also to unwind and explore one of California’s finest cities. To make the city more student-friendly, Berkeley’s transportation system is one of the finest in the US and cleverly links locations so that Universities are at a mere walking distance for students. Amber’s Berkeley student housing is located near the US bus stops in the city. One can even opt for ride-sharing services, but it may cost them more.
Bus: The city has partnered with AC Transit for their bus services, and bus stops are strategically located at important locations so students studying abroad in Berkeley can rest assured.
Commute Tracker: This is an app introduced by UC Berkeley where faculty, staff and students can carpool together and plan trips together.
Ride-sharing services/Online cabs: Students can opt for ride-sharing and cabs to travel from the convenience of their own doorstep. However, this mode can be pricier.
Cycling: Cycling is an insanely popular option amongst students. Students can be seen cycling to and fro their universities and their accommodation. Since the streets are quite pedestrian-friendly, one can opt for cycles as their daily mode of transportation.
