You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Cambus''' is an American [[public transport]] [[bus]] system, primarily serving the [[University of Iowa]] campus in [[Iowa City, Iowa]]. The service is intended to provide transportation for students, faculty, and staff around the main campus, University of Iowa Research Park, residence halls, and commuter parking lots. Cambus is a [[free public transport|zero-fare]] service open to the general public, and provides approximately 3,000,000 rides per year. It is one of three transit systems in the Iowa City area, the other two being [[Iowa City Transit]] and [[Coralville Transit]], and Cambus shares several stops with them.

The service is operated by the Department of Parking and Transportation for the University of Iowa with funding from the Parking & Transportation Department, a UI Student fee, and the Federal Transportation Administration. Cambus employs approximately 170 employees. There are only six non-student employees who work specifically for Cambus: the Cambus Manager, the Maintenance Supervisor, and four full-time mechanics. All other employees, including drivers, dispatchers, trainers, student mechanics, and departmental supervisors, are students currently enrolled at the University of Iowa.

Cambus also has two different buildings on the University of Iowa campus. The main office is located on Evashevski Drive, north [[Kinnick Stadium]], called the West Campus Transportation Center.  Cambus moved operations to this newer building, shared with the Parking & Transportation department, on November 16, 2012. The Cambus Maintenance Facility, often called "The Barn" by employees, is located on South Madison Street south of the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.

== History ==
Cambus was founded by University of Iowa students and has been in operation since March 1972. The name "Cambus" was the result of a naming contest. It started with seven vehicles dating from 1955 and 1956.<ref>((Cite news|date=1973-09-18|title=Fare Considered For Cambus Rides|page=1|work=Iowa City Press-Citizen))</ref> By 1975, the fleet had grown to 11 vehicles. Twelve new buses were purchased the following year. In 2004, the fleet had 32 vehicles.<ref>((Cite news|last=Brenner|first=Vida|date=2004-09-03|title=Cambus keeps students on move|page=2|work=Iowa City Press-Citizen|access-date=))</ref> The University of Iowa campus is divided into east and west halves by the [[Iowa River]]. Most Liberal Arts and Sciences classes take place on the east side of the river; thus the purpose of the new bus service was to facilitate easier transportation between the west-side dormitories and the east-side classrooms. At first there was no name for this service, so the founding students created a contest open to all UI students to select one. "Cambus" was the name eventually chosen after [[Cambuskenneth]], and the winner, Larry Page, was awarded a free pizza.

The first Cambus buses were used school buses, repainted by Cambus employees. There were three different bus routes; Red Route, Blue Route, and the Interdorm Shuttle. Cambus also acquired a trailer, which was used as their main office; this was located in the [[Hancher Auditorium]] parking lot.

In the 2013 financial year, ridership reached 4.5 million.<ref>((Cite news|date=2013-09-18|title=Start of school especially busy for drivers|page=10A|work=The Gazette))</ref>

In October, 2018, Cambus routes and schedules were integrated with Google Maps.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://transportation.uiowa.edu/news/cambus-routes-and-schedules-integrated-google-maps|title=CAMBUS routes and schedules integrated into Google Maps ((!)) Parking and Transportation|website=transportation.uiowa.edu))</ref>

== Routes ==
Cambus currently has thirteen routes in service.<ref name=":0" />

During Academic service (the Spring and Fall semesters), all routes run on weekdays with limited service on the weekends. During Summer and Interim service a limited service runs without any weekend service. Route maps and schedules are available on the Cambus website and in pamphlets available on the buses. Cambus time is set by the Master Clock at the US Naval Observatory.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.time.gov/|title=The Official NIST US Time|date=May 22, 2018|website=www.time.gov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180522031726/https://www.time.gov/|archive-date=2018-05-22))</ref>

During academic service the earliest route begins at 4:30 am and the last route ends at 1:02 am (2:12 am on Friday and Saturday nights for SafeRide)

Cambus also provides special service for university-affiliated groups, including shuttle service for most Hawkeye football games (to/from downtown, Hancher, and the Hawkeye Commuter Lot), men's Hawkeye basketball games (to/from Hancher), and other events on campus.

Following a recommendation from the Iowa City Area Transit Study (ICATS), Cambus began using route numbers in July 2021.<ref>https://transportation.uiowa.edu/articles/2021/06/cambus-introduces-route-numbers-route-naming-system</ref>

== Bus Tracking ==
Live bus tracking using GPS was introduced in 2010 with the BONGO (Bus on the Go) service.<ref>((Cite web|date=2010-12-10|title=Waiting for the Cambus just got easier with BONGO – Alumni Seeking Iowa Students|url=https://asist.admissions.uiowa.edu/2010/12/waiting-for-the-cambus-just-got-easier-with-bongo/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-15|website=asist.admissions.uiowa.edu|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515193440/https://asist.admissions.uiowa.edu/2010/12/waiting-for-the-cambus-just-got-easier-with-bongo/ |archive-date=2021-05-15 ))</ref> This was replaced in December 2019 with bus tracking in the [[Transit (app)|Transit]] app.<ref>((Cite web|last=Wilson|first=Rylee|title=Cambus introduces new Transit navigation app to replace Bongo|url=https://dailyiowan.com/2019/12/04/cambus-introduces-new-transit-navigation-app-to-replace-bongo/|access-date=2021-05-15|website=The Daily Iowan))</ref>

== Bionic Bus ==
In accordance with the [[Americans with Disabilities Act]] (ADA), Cambus provides paratransit service called the Bionic Bus for University staff, faculty, and students. There are up to 3 paratransit buses in service during normal academic service (fewer run on weekends and during interim service). The service is demand-response curb-to-curb and serves much of Iowa City and Coralville. Student drivers are specially trained for Bionic Bus. Unlike Iowa City Transit and Coralville Transit, the paratransit service is handled in-house and not contracted to Johnson County SEATS.
