BusTracker

Using BusTracker, you can access the scheduled and estimated arrival time of your bus on your smart phone, tablet or computer. BusTracker also provides route-specific alerts regarding service status, delays and detours.

NOTE: From time to time, unplanned reroutes, service disruptions and last-minute changes to service may affect the accuracy of the predicted arrival times generated by BusTracker.

Bus schedules are an excellent resource for learning how to get around. They combine timetables of all the trips a route makes with maps showing various points of interest along the way. Online schedules are available on the Schedules and Maps page of this site. 

When viewing your schedule, you’ll notice the timepoints are listed across the top of the timetable. Find where and when you’d like to catch the bus and where you’d like to be dropped off. Keep in mind, these are not the only bus stops along the route. There are often stops every few blocks in between the timepoints listed.

Getting on the Bus

Find the Fairfax connector sign along your route and wait for the bus at the bus stop. When the bus pulls up, check the route number on the electronic sign on the front of the bus. If you can’t see it, ask the driver for the bus route.

Tap your TRIP 100 card on the farebox when you board and take a seat. You may stand holding the nearest hand strap or pole if seats are full.
 

Exiting the Bus

As the bus approaches your desired stop, pull the cord above the seats on either side of the bus to indicate you’d like to get off and make sure you have your belongings. 

Exit the bus from the rear door and wait until the bus departs before crossing the street. This helps the boarding process go smoothly and keeps you safe.
