Route Changes
Prior to the Opening of the RTS Transit Center
Some customers caught the bus at one point, rode it to downtown, and waited on that bus until it continued on to their destination (for example, Route 1 - Park Ave to Route 1 - Lake Ave – with a stop at Main and Clinton). We call this “through-routing.”
Today
The RTS Transit Center is now the first destination for customers boarding the bus. When buses arrive at the Center, customers must disembark and find their
connecting bus. “Through- routing” will no longer be permitted since we are changing the routes for many of our buses. Customers will also need to purchase another $1 fare to continue to their destination (unless they have an all-day unlimited pass, 5-day unlimited pass, or 31-day unlimited pass).
Customer Benefits
By offering this new procedure in and out of our downtown hub, RTS can enhance our services by:
- Simplifying destination and bus stop signs
- Improving service by allocating the correct number of buses needed at any given time
- Customers can save on the additional costs by purchasing unlimited ride passes
