Thus, if one gets on the inbound from the Northwest campus, they are heading “in” to MIT (North Station via MIT) • “Outbound” :This designation indicates the bus is heading away from North Station, towards Cambridgeport. Thus, if one get’s on the outbound from Kendall Square of any other site on campus they will be taken towards the Northwest Campus. • Both “In-bound” and “Out-bound” buses will stop on the same side of the road at Kendall. Be aware of which one you are getting on. • For Mid-Day operation: • This route is specifically designed for MIT. The Mid-Day service is essentially a loop around campus which does not come from or return to North Station.
