Transportation in Bloomington (buses)




Transportation here in Bloomington is easy with buses. Many students here do not have cars and they can go whereever they want to go. That because of buses. There are two types of buses: Campus Bus (Red) and Bloomington Transit bus (green).
The red buses are only for campus and the green ones are for campus and the town.
Bus Stop
Bus Stop Signs Bus stops are marked with Bloomington bus stop signs located along routes throughout the city. Please use these designated stops to wait for arriving buses. Bloomington buses will also stop at most street corners assuming there are no safety hazards.

Please wait until departing passengers are off the bus before you board. Have your exact fare or pass ready when you board the bus. Remember drivers do not carry change. Also be sure to present your Bloomington issued picture or student ID card to the driver when boarding the bus if you qualify for a special fare. If you need a transfer, ask the driver for one when you board the bus.
Please save front seats for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. If all seats are occupied, please move to the rear of the bus so that others can board and alight more easily.
As the bus nears the location where you want to get off, pull the cord located above the windows or press the yellow strip between the windows. A bell will alert the driver to stop the bus at the next stop to let you off. Bloomington drivers announce major intersections and destination points along each route.
Tranfers
Transfers are issued to provide service between two points not served by a single route. Transfers are only issued to customers who pay a fare or board with a Bloomington Transit paid pass. Transfers are free and valid for the next bus to your destination at locations where routes intersect. Transfers are only issued at the time of boarding. Transfers may not be used for a return trip. Transfers can be made between BT and Rural Transit routes.
