| FARES, PASSES & TRAVEL TIPS |
| FROM HERE TO THERE |
| SMTD fixed-route buses operate in the Springfield area from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday-Saturday. Regular routes start from and return to the downtown area. Note: Some routes may not operate on Saturday. See the schedule or call 522-5531 for route information. |
| The main bus schedule includes timetables for all regular routes. Routes are color-coded on a map of Springfield. The "Historic Sites Route" is currently in a separate brochure. Schedules are available at many businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, the Municipal Building, and on the buses. Individual routes also may be viewed and printed from the "Routes and Schedules" page. |
| TRANSFERS |
| When your destination cannot be reached by traveling one bus route, ask the driver for a transfer when you pay the fare. Transfers are free and are good for the next scheduled bus wherever bus routes meet. |
| TRAVEL TIPS |
Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early.
Have your pass or exact cash fare ready. |
| Wait for the bus near the street corner, passenger shelter, or bus stop sign. DO NOT wait in the middle of the block. |
