SMART is Starkville's free bus. This page answers one question first — is a bus running right now? — because the real catch isn't the fare (there isn't one), it's the hours. There's no service on Sundays or major holidays, most routes stop in the early evening, and the campus routes only run during the school year. Below the status is the other half of the answer: how often each route actually comes, and when the last one leaves.
