We have heard stories of both short and long rides, some from as far away as San Francisco and beyond. The information will help foster new programs, gather information on bike-friendly departments, and inspire all of us to ride more and drive less when we can. Remember to bike safely and send along a photo, too! Share your Department Bike to Work Day Ride

On April 16, Stanford’s Marguerite Shuttle began operating its new Bohannon line, designed to make it easier for the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) community to move between the main LPCH campus and the LPCH administrative offices in Menlo Park.
The Bohannon shuttle, sponsored by LPCH, travels between 4100/4700 Bohannon Drive and the Stanford Barn, with stops at Caltrain’s Menlo Park station and at Staples and Safeway on El Camino Real. The Bohannon shuttle runs on weekdays between 7:26 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. Each Bohannon shuttle is ADA-compliant, has bike racks, and has a capacity of 12 to 14 passengers, face-forward seating configuration with tray tables for laptops (due in early summer), and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Bohannon shuttle could be a relaxing, productive, and potentially time-saving alternative to driving and parking. It is an estimated five-minute walk from the Stanford Barn stop at Vineyard Lane to the main entrance of LPCH off Welch Road. Walking another two to five minutes will get you to Stanford Hospital & Clinics.
The print version of the Marguerite system map and schedule, effective March 2012, does not include the new Bohannon shuttle. As an alternative, the following documents are formatted to be printed on letter-sized paper:
You can access the most current versions of all Marguerite shuttle maps and timetables online from the Maps & Schedules page.
