Car
People say that in order to easily get around in Ruston, you really need a car. The public transportation available, in the city, is not very efficient and you might end up waiting up to 30 minutes for the bus to arrive, which is not exactly pleasant, especially if you're in a hurry to get somewhere. Getting around by car may be the best choice, but it is only convenient if you're not on a budget, while staying in Ruston - the gas price is not exactly heap right now. However, if you do decide to drive your way to Ruston, be sure to grab a local map first, so you don't end up someplace else, than your desired destination (especially if you're a first-time visitor).
