From Cornell

The bus picks students up at North Campus from the Robert Purcell Community Center, West Campus at Baker Flagpole, and Collegetown in front of the Center for Theatre Arts.

Please arrive at the bus stop 15 minutes before departure to board. Look for the “CB-Bus” sign on the dashboard of the bus.

Montgomery Mall

7101 Democracy Boulevard, Bethesda, MD 20817. The bus stops at parking lot behind the Shell Gas Station (at the corner of Democracy Blvd. And Westlake Dr.) across from the Macy's outdoor parking lot.

Directions to parking lot: Enter Montgomery Mall from Democracy Blvd. and bear left. The busses will drop-off and pick-up students from the parking lot located after the gas station on your left. It is the parking lot farthest from Macy's and facing Westlake Drive on the outskirts of the mall property.

Montgomery Mall is a private property and has been permitting the charter bus to load and unload on its premises. Please return this favor by patronizing the mall shops and restaurants. It is important that we do not adversely affect mall traffic (particularly during the holiday seasons) or we may not be able to use this facility in the future.

Pick-up and Drop-off Information

Please be at the bus stop 15 minutes before departure for loading. Look for the “Bethesda, MD” sign on the bus.
