 The campus fare @-@ free bus transit system began in 1990 and runs throughout the campus and surrounding neighborhoods . In 2005 the university started testing Hybrid buses on the service 's main route . The first hybrid bus on the system used a proprietary diesel @-@ electric propulsion system , known as a Hybrid Booster Drive ( HBD ) , and was developed by the Electric Vehicle Institute ( EVI ) within the BGSU College of Technology . The system is made up of four routes . It includes major stops at various residence halls , academic buildings and athletic buildings . The campus has a phone application that allows the students to track the location of the different buses around campus .
