PRO TIP: Get to know the system! Enter your address or bus stop ID to see in our Interactive System Map to see what’s nearby.

Enjoy the ride. Grab a seat and have a good trip! Audio and visual announcements will let you know upcoming stops. Plus, VRT buses have free wi-fi onboard!

Be on your way. When the bus approaches your stop, pull the yellow cord to let the driver know you want to get off. When the bus comes to a stop, exit through the back door to let other passengers board through the front.
Remember to…
-
Follow the rules of riding and be respectful to drivers and other riders
-
Bike + Ride if it works for your trip. Just use the bike rack on the front of the bus!
-
Only bring a drink if it has a sealed lid. Otherwise? No food or drink please!
PRO TIP: Check the digital sign on the front of the bus to make sure it’s your route (some bus stops serve more than one route).
