Need a ride? The "Mustang Transit Authority" is on it.

SMU coach Chad Morris made the rounds on campus in Dallas this week in a two-row golf cart, offering free rides to students in appreciation for their attendance at last weekend's season opener against Baylor. Morris, with a driver up front to allow him to interact with the students, even accommodated one student's request for a selfie rather than a ride.

As he told another student, "I just kinda thought we'd get out today and interact with y'all and say, 'Hey, we appreciate you.'"

Check out the video from SMU's YouTube channel:

Morris is in his first season as coach at SMU after a successful stint as Clemson's offensive coordinator. The Mustangs hung with Baylor for a half last week before the Bears eventually pulled away in a 56-21 decision, one that featured more SMU points than the team scored in the first four games combined in 2014.
