Sun Metro Invites UTEP Football Fans to Skip the Traffic and Ride the Bus

Miner football fans tired of battling traffic and hunting for a parking space can save time, money and hassle by parking at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal (UPTT), 400 W. San Antonio, and boarding Sun Metro’s SMART 101.

Fans can arrive to the game in style by parking at the UPTT for $5 and buy a roundtrip bus pass for $2.50 (per person). Children 5 and under ride free, and must be accompanied by an adult. Bus fare for SMART 101 must be paid with exact change as riders board the bus.

Sun Metro will begin taking fans to each UTEP home game from the UPTT two hours before kickoff. Miner fans will be dropped off at Sun Metro’s football bus stop located near the intersection of Robinson Avenue and Randolph Drive, adjacent to Memorial Gym.

Return trips will begin at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Before boarding the bus, riders are reminded of the following tips and policies:

Make sure you have your game tickets BEFORE you get on board
Food or beverages are NOT permitted on the bus
Boarding for return trips will be at the same dropped-off location near Memorial Gym
