The #2 runs straight up and down High Street and the trip takes between 11-17 minutes. The bus runs on the weekdays until about midnight (depending on the stop), and until 2am on weekends. You can catch the 2 right across the street from the Hampton (a bit to the north) and you will exit at High at 13th. Cost is $2.00 per ride and you will pay when you board with the exact fare in bills or coins (no change will be provided).
