Why Use Transit?

Discover a New Way to Get Around

At its best, public transit offers reliability and a new way to explore your community while feeling more connected to its people, places, and systems. At CTRAN, we use real feedback from our riders to make taking the bus as easy and comfortable as possible.

Why Use Public Transit?

It’s Easier Than You Might Think

Our buses operate on a flag stop system, which means you can catch a bus at any point on an established route. You can see the times and locations of CTRAN buses by visiting our Routes page. Our convenient Trip Planner is perfect for anyone who is planning to take the bus for the first time.

Lower Your Environmental Impact

Taking public transit is also a great way to switch up your routine while reducing your carbon output. Taking the bus instead of taking a car every now and then decreases your dependency on single-occupancy vehicles while giving you a backup plan when automobile issues arise.

Supports Accessible Transportation

All CTRAN vehicles are fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, which means people of all abilities can depend on CTRAN for comfortable transportation. Making CTRAN a part of your commute or regional travel plans supports our mission of equity.

Strengthen Social Connections

Even with convenient tools and schedules, we know that taking the bus may be out of many people’s comfort zones – which is why we encourage you to give it a shot! Taking public transit is a great way to build confidence, strengthen your social ties, and feel more connected to your community.
