The Department of Public Safety has expanded off-campus BranVan shuttle service to include weekends, from noon to 4 p.m., Director of Public Safety Ed Callahan said in a campus-wide e-mail Monday.Callahan said the change came in response to a survey indicating students wanted additional Bran Van during weekends so they have more time to take care of personal business in Waltham.

When students came back for the fall semester, Callahan said he "was committed to getting [the plans for weekend BranVan service] off the ground." He said he hopes this will benefit students who have limited time during the weekend to shop or attend various appointments.
