A shuttle service transporting customers to and from Ames and the Des Moines International Airport will be available this year courtesy of Executive Express, a shuttle company based in St. Cloud, Minn.

The system features nine departure times from each location.

The shuttle will pick up and drop off passengers from the Memorial Union with an additional stop at the Holiday Inn at 2600 E. 13th St. Ticket prices are $26 for a one-way trip and $48 for a round trip.

James Dorsett, the director of International Students and Scholars program, worked with Executive Express to bring the service to Iowa State. He said this service will greatly benefit international students, students with plans to travel and Ames residents.
