RUS Transport

The residence offers its own bus service to those universities located at a certain distance from the residence, such as those located in Sant Cugat (ESADE Creapolis, UPC arquitectura and UIC Hospital General de Catalunya). Residents who need to travel to university campuses that are not close to the area can request the bus transport service from the residence to their university.  Residents need only let us know their timetables and, unless there is an overlap with other services, we will add their journey. The bus service is available from Monday to Friday and on exam Saturdays. The Residence finances 50% of the cost.
