Does anybody know if there are any “free/discounted” options to get to/from Purdue from the Indianapolis airport?
There is mention of Lafayette Limo and Reindeer Shuttle, but wanted to see if the university had any free/discounted shuttles for students as well.
Any OOS parents/students, please let me know what you take when going home…
Lafayette Limo and Reindeer Shuttle are definitely the most popular options. I have not heard of any free service being operated by Purdue.
That said, there is a lot of ride sharing going on. A ton of students live in the Indy and Chicago areas and it’s usually pretty easy for people to find rides.
This was started by a group of Purdue students:

The parent FB group also facilitates ride sharing all the time.
I’m not aware of anything to the airports, other than the mentioned services that provide a $5-10 discount to students.
We’re a 6.5h drive with no direct flights, so have never had to get to The Indy airport. We have used ride sharing with others in our area.
