Is There Uber, Lyft, and Taxis at Georgian College?
Popular ride hailing services Uber and Lyft are both operational in Barrie. So too are traditional taxicab services. According to our RA’s, the drivers ‘love’ Georgian College students. While these options can be a bit more pricy than the bus, they are a more convenient option, particularly late at night when the bus stops running. In situations where more than one person is sharing the ride, these methods of transportation can quickly become affordable..
Can I Walk from Georgian Green to Georgian College?
If you’re not interested in cars, buses, or Ubers, there’s always two feet and a heartbeat. As we mentioned, Georgian Green Student Residence is located right beside the Georgian College campus, so walking to class is a logical solution.
