This summer, everyone rides for 25¢ on all local, CommuterLink and GoMicro buses. That means bus rides will be just a quarter from June 1 through August 30. As always, students who are part of the U-Pass and Go-Pass programs ride for free with the GoMobile app.

Cash, coin and GoMobile app payment accepted. So get off the couch, find a quarter and go enjoy life.

We’ll get you there.

When waiting at a bus stop, it is important to make yourself visible to the bus driver. During the day that is easy. Just stand up and wave to the driver.

At night it can be difficult for the driver to see you at stops that are not well-lit. To help you, RTA has installed Spin To Be Seen reflective signs for you to signal the driver.

As the bus approaches, spin the wheel and the reflection will glow and alert the driver you are at the stop. Stand near the bus stop pole and signal the driver.

You can also wear bright clothing, carry a flashlight or use the light on your cell phone to become more visible.
