Catch a Ride to Husker Games with the ‘Big Red Express’ | KLIN

Need a ride to Memorial Stadium for an upcoming Husker football game? StarTran has you covered.

The Big Red Express service offered by Lincoln Transportation and Utilities will kick back up for game season this Saturday, August 31, for the UTEP Miners vs. Cornhuskers game.

The service will be offered two hours before kickoff from four different locations, each in different quadrants of the city:

• Gateway Mall – 61st and “O” streets, north side parking area between Dillard’s and JCPenney
• SouthPointe Pavilions – 27th and Pine Lake Road, south of Von Maur
• North Star High School – 5801 N. 33rd St., take I-80 exit 403, follow North 27th Street south and turn left onto Folkways Boulevard
• Northwest High School – 4901 West Holdrege Street, take I-80 exit 395, follow Northwest 48th Street north and turn left onto West Holdrege Street

Buses will drop off and board passengers on “R” Street between 12th and 14th streets.

Buses are expected to take an average of 30 minutes or less from the time riders board a bus to when they are dropped off at their vehicle’s location. The last bus will leave the lot 45 minutes prior to kickoff. Electronic signs will help direct fans to the Big Red Express locations near the interstate.

Advance round trip tickets are $13 per adult and $7 per child. Gameday round trip tickets are $15 per adult and $10 per child. Round trip tickets may be purchased in advance at the StarTran office, 710 “J” St., or on the Token Transit App. One-way trip tickets will not be sold and exact change is required. No bills larger than $20 will be accepted.

Big Red Express season tickets, good for round-trip travel for all home games, are available for $65, a $26 savings, at StarTran or at the lots on game day.
