For the second-consecutive semester, WVUâs PRT is unoperational â for better or worse. Shuttered due to COVID-19 concerns, the Universityâs transportation system has been replaced by a caravan of coach buses. According to senior journalism student Adam Payne, who currently lives down by Grant Avenue, one downside to not having the PRT available is that the buses are sometimes harder to get on. âI don't necessarily find it more difficult to take the bus to class, but I think that the PRT would come a lot more frequently than the mountain line. Overall though, I think the shuttle buses have been a pretty consistent replacement for them,â said Payne.
