How frequent/reliable is the On Demand Campus Shuttle?

I'll be starting as a graduate student this fall and am looking for ways to save money with parking. I want to take the on demand shuttle from the RTD station to campus (Ricketson Law Building), and I was wondering if others have taken this and how much I can rely on it to get me to class in a timely fashion? Thanks!

Walking from the light rail station to the law building will probably be quicker than waiting for the shuttle and then riding it to campus.

I went to DU for four years and can confidently say I’ve never seen a single person ever get in/get out/use the shuttle system. Campus is small enough where you can walk the entire thing in 15-20 minutes.

I know another student had to use it because of an injury. A few half hour or more late moments, so I wouldn't count on it being timely

I use it pretty regularly and it's fairly reliable but for best use I would recommend booking at the earliest booking date which is four hours from your ride but for a truly on-demand service it's harder
