LTD Bus Schedule Finder for Eugene, Springfield, EmX, Umo Fares, Routes, Maps and Live Arrivals
Most people opening an LTD bus schedule page need a fast answer: which route should I take, when is the next bus, how do I pay, where is my stop, and is there a detour today? This guide puts those actions first for Lane Transit District riders in Eugene, Springfield and Lane County.
What LTD Riders Want First When They Open the Schedule Page
LTD Bus Schedule intent is different from a single route-number search. The user may need EmX, a neighborhood bus, a University of Oregon trip, Lane Community College, downtown Eugene, Springfield Station, Gateway, River Road, Santa Clara, Coburg, Cottage Grove, Veneta, Junction City, Oakridge, Florence-area Rhody Express, RideSource, LTD Connector or a rural shuttle. A useful page should guide them to the correct official tool quickly.

LTD Bus Schedule Overview: Eugene, Springfield, EmX, Neighborhood Routes and Rural Links
Lane Transit District serves Eugene, Springfield and wider Lane County with neighborhood bus routes, EmX bus rapid transit, community shuttles, paratransit and regional services. LTD’s official route page lists EmX and many numbered routes, including local routes such as 01, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 24, 28, 33, 36, 40, 41, 51, 52, 55, 66, 67, 79X, 81, 82, 85, 91, 92, 93, 95, 96, 98, Diamond Express and Rhody Express.
For riders, the route number is only one part of the decision. You also need the service day, direction, stop, station, transfer point, fare method and alert status. LTD’s own How to Ride guidance recommends planning the trip, tracking the bus, paying before boarding and getting to the stop at least 5 minutes early.

LTD Fare and Umo App Help: Single Ride, Day Pass, 31-Day Pass and Tap Card
LTD fare intent is very high because riders often want to know whether they can pay with cash, Umo, a tap card, student pass, college pass, honored rider pass or a monthly-style pass. As of the official 2026 fare page, neighborhood bus and EmX fares include the following prices.
Umo app, tap card and cash
LTD’s fare page says riders can use the Umo app, tap card and cash on board for neighborhood and EmX single-ride and day-pass options. For 31-day and 92-day passes, Umo app and tap card are the listed payment methods. The Umo app can also be used for contactless payment and trip planning.
One account across LTD services
LTD states that beginning May 1, 2026, the same app or tap card can be used for rides across LTD services, including neighborhood buses, EmX, RideSource, LTD Connector, Rural Shuttle, Diamond Express and Rhody Express. This is important for riders who mix local, rural, paratransit or shuttle services.
Fare caution
Some LTD services have additional or separate fare notes. RideSource, Diamond Express, Rhody Express, LTD Connector and rural shuttles may not follow the same pricing as neighborhood bus and EmX trips. Always check the exact service on LTD’s fare page.
LTD Real-Time Tracker and Transit App: Best Way to See Next Bus ETAs
LTD’s partner app is Transit. LTD describes it as a way to plan your trip, track your ride and see ETAs for nearby services. Transit also offers real-time vehicle locations, route planning, walking/biking combinations and GO step-by-step guidance for reminders about leaving, transferring and getting off.
- Use Transit app when you need ETAs, live vehicle locations and step-by-step guidance.
- Use LTD real-time map when you want to select routes and view active buses on the map.
- Use LTD route pages when you need official schedules, maps and route lists.
- Use service alerts before relying on a saved PDF or screenshot.

New riders often miss the bus because they start with a route number but skip the boarding details. LTD’s official How to Ride page gives practical steps: plan the trip, track the bus, pay the fare and enjoy the ride. It also tells riders to arrive at the stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
Plan the trip
Use LTD’s trip planner, Transit app, Rider’s Guide, printed schedule or preferred phone app.
Check route and direction
Confirm the route number, destination sign, station, transfer and stop direction.
Track the bus
Use the real-time map or Transit app so you know whether the bus is close.
Arrive early
Get to the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled departure.
Prepare fare
Have Umo app, tap card, valid pass or exact cash ready before boarding.
Board safely
Check the front destination sign and board only if it is the route you need.
Signal your stop
Pull the signal cord about a block before your stop and gather belongings early.
Exit carefully
Exit through the rear doors when possible and never cross in front of the bus.
EmX, Local Routes and Regional Services: Which LTD Service Do You Need?
LTD is not just one bus route. Riders may need a frequent EmX corridor, a regular neighborhood bus, an LTD Connector ride, RideSource ADA paratransit, a rural shuttle or a regional service such as Diamond Express or Rhody Express. Choosing the right service type is the first step.
Use EmX when…
Your trip follows the main bus rapid transit corridor and station-based boarding makes sense.
Use neighborhood buses when…
Your trip is a local Eugene, Springfield, Thurston, River Road, Hilyard, Gateway, Coburg or Santa Clara route.
Use regional routes when…
Your trip goes toward Cottage Grove, Veneta, Junction City, Oakridge, McKenzie Bridge, Lowell or other Lane County locations.
Use RideSource or Connector when…
You need ADA paratransit, on-demand service, accessibility support or a service outside normal fixed-route planning.
Route-type rule
If your search includes “near me,” “live tracker,” “UO,” “LCC,” “Gateway,” “Springfield Station,” “Eugene Station,” “Cottage Grove,” “Veneta” or “Oakridge,” use LTD’s official route filters and map instead of guessing from a route number alone.
LTD Accessibility, Student Passes and Special Rider Help
LTD has dedicated resources for older adults, people with disabilities, students and riders who need extra support. The official Accessibility page lists accessible boarding, RideSource ADA paratransit, reasonable modifications, service animals, honored rider, half-fare and travel training resources.
Student and college riders
LTD’s fare resources include K-12 student pass and college student pass information. UO, LCC and Pacific University student-related fare access appears in LTD’s fare and college pass resources. Students should use the official pass page or school transportation office for exact setup steps.
Older adults and riders with disabilities
Riders age 65 and older may qualify for honored rider resources. Riders with disabilities may need RideSource ADA paratransit, accessible boarding guidance, reasonable modifications, service animal information or travel training. Use the official accessibility hub before planning a medical, work or essential trip.
Accessibility caution
Do not assume a general bus schedule page answers ADA paratransit eligibility, reasonable modification or RideSource booking requirements. Use the official LTD Accessibility and RideSource resources for those details.
LTD Service Alerts, Detours and Extreme Weather
Lane County riders should check alerts before relying on a saved timetable. Construction, road closures, events, smoke, ice, snow, fog and other weather issues can affect stop locations, travel times and route reliability. LTD’s Rider’s Guide includes service alerts and extreme weather resources for this reason.
- Check alerts before leaving for work, class, medical appointments or transfers.
- Confirm whether your stop is temporarily moved or closed.
- Use the real-time map or Transit app close to departure time.
- Allow extra time during winter weather, fog, smoke or construction.
- Use official LTD pages before relying on third-party screenshots.
