>Uber/Lyft are expensive for a typical student budget No they aren't. I used them constantly when I lived on campus. Most of my fares were around $5-6. It's cheaper than a bus if you place a non-negligible value on your time. The Austin bus system kind of sucks outside of a few routes. I took the 100 to the airport a few times and it was brutal. Lyft is $20-30 and super fast and convenient. You can survive by sticking within a 5-block radius of campus, but good luck if you have hobbies, interests, or a job.
