Traveling beyond Boalsburg to Downtown State College?
Those traveling from the Boalsburg area will need to schedule a CATAGO! trip to the bus stops on Rolling Ridge Drive near Hills Plaza and transfer to the CATABUS Atherton Street Connector Route to continue to Downtown State College.
When scheduling a CATAGO! trip, it will be important to schedule enough time to get to the Atherton Street Connector bus stop prior to the scheduled bus departure times. For reference, a CATAGO! trip from downtown Boalsburg to Weis on South Atherton Street takes approximately 7 – 14 minutes once the vehicle picks up a passenger.
