How to Ride
Step 1 – Get a Schedule
Ride Guides are available onboard RRTA buses and at Queen Street Station. To view RRTA’s schedules online click here.
Step 2 – Stand at the Bus Stop
Locate the nearest bus stop for your route and wait for the bus to come to your stop. Stand in clear view of the driver and “flag” (wave to) the bus as it approaches to let the driver know that you are waiting for the bus.
In Lancaster City: Locate the nearest bus stop for your route and wait for the bus to come to your stop. You must be standing at a bus stop to be picked-up.
Outside Lancaster City: If no bus stop sign is nearby, wait on the same side of the street as the bus travels. Wait at a safe area and ‘flag’ (wave to) the operator as the bus approaches.
Step 3 – Board Your Bus
When the bus stops, enter the bus at the front door. All buses are wheelchair accessible and equipped with bike racks.
Step 4 – Pay Your Fare
All fares are paid when you board the bus. You can pay with the RRTA Go Mobile app, reusable Go Mobile smart card, or in cash.
There is one fare for anywhere you want to ride. Or purchase passes to get a discount and make it easier to pay to ride.

*Transferring From One Bus to Another: If you have to change to another bus to complete your one-way trip, that is called transferring. There is no charge for a transfer. If you are paying in cash, ask the driver for a paper transfer slip. If you are using the RRTA Go Mobile app, the transfer will automatically calculate when you travel from one bus to another. The transfer can be used until the latest time printed on it. A transfer cannot be used for a return trip on the same or nearby routes.
Step 5 – Exit Your Bus
As the bus approaches your destination, pull the cord or push the red stop buttons to signal the driver you want to stop. Cords are located along the windows and red stop buttons are located on the poles along the aisle.
