Why did the bus pass me up?2019-05-29T15:23:43-07:00
There are a few reasons why a bus could pass you up such as: the bus is already at full capacity and is unable to board additional passengers, the bus is out of service, or the bus is being used to fill in for only a portion of a route to close gaps in service that may have been caused by roadway congestion, traffic accident, or some other valid reason. The bus is not required to stop at each bus stop if there are no customers waiting. Please be sure to make yourself visible to the operator at the bus stop and make sure to verify the time that the bus is scheduled to arrive.
Why not add more service to the Strip?2019-05-29T15:23:58-07:00
The amount of vehicles deployed to the Strip is based upon three factors: customer demand, vehicle capacity, and budget constraints. There are times during the year when demand for service is greater than usual. In those instances, budget permitting, the RTC will deploy additional vehicles to handle the increased demand for service.
Why was my bus not on time?2021-03-11T21:52:35-08:00

Scheduled times are approximate and may vary due to unusual traffic conditions or other significant disruptions along the route.

What is the carry-on bag policy?2020-06-18T09:26:18-07:00

Customers are permitted to carry on only the number of bags that they are able to manage independently in one boarding without the assistance of the driver. The carry-on items must fit within a certain space either on your lap or in front of your area. If a customer brings more than he/she is able to manage independently, it will be the customer’s choice on whether to board with a manageable amount of items or find alternative transportation to carry the remaining packages. Items cannot be placed in the aisles.
