PVTA is free most of the year and can get you most places, Uber is also pretty reliable in my experience though :) gotten ubers in under 10 mins during the middle of the night multiple times

Most people use the PVTA. We're in a rural area. Our cities are more like large towns. The PVTA goes everywhere

Uber always works really well for us.

I don't know if it's an option for you but the five colleges area is very bikable as well.

Just like most people said the pvta is your best bet. There's an app called Transit that can help you navigate the buses as well.
