Red lines arrive every 15 minutes

This is a map of our bus network today. The color of the route tells you how often the bus arrives during the day. For example, on a red line, a bus arrives every 15 minutes.

More people tend to use the red lines (a bus every 15 minutes) because the next bus is always coming soon. However, the County runs only five red lines, so we have very few of these frequent bus routes. Most of our bus routes arrive every 30 minutes, and many arrive every 60 minutes.



City trolleys and County buses also run similar routes – which makes the system inefficient, less useful and more confusing. Both trolley and bus routes can be improved to work better together.



Ridership has been declining

Less people are finding this bus system useful. Ridership has declined by 33% over the past 5 years.

Most people are waiting a long time for the bus

Only five county routes arrive every 15 minutes or less throughout the day. Most people are waiting 30, 45 or 60 minutes for a bus.

A bus network of 30 years ago

Our bus network has not been comprehensively redesigned in the last 30 years.
