Why doesn’t the bus stop in front of my house or closer to my work?

RTC bus stops are placed to serve as many people as possible while keeping service fast and reliable.

Why some stops are farther away:

  • Buses can’t stop too often without slowing down the whole route
  • Stops need to be in safe, accessible locations with enough space for the bus
  • We group stops near key intersections, transit centers, and high-traffic areas

What you can do

  • Use the RTC Trip Planner or rideRTC app to find the nearest stop to your destination
  • Many stops are within a short walk or bike ride
  • Let us know if you have an idea for a new stop or a better location—we review stop requests regularly

 

💡 Tip: When planning your trip, look for routes with stops near major roads, shopping centers, or cross streets to minimize walking distance.
