- This map copied from the Dekalb telephone directory was the entire route plan. Since we had two professional bus drivers—regulars on the Husky line which operated about town and the NIU campus—engaged, all we had to do was highlight some of the more obvious route choices once the locations were established. This was enough to start driving and timing the possible route segments (see Timetable study for ArtBus). Either we got it right the first time, or our drivers improvised better routes in performance.
