SRTA Bus Schedule: All Routes, Map, Stops & Live Times

What SRTA Riders Want First When They Open This Page

A rider searching “SRTA bus schedule” usually needs an action, not a long explanation. They may be trying to get to work, school, Bristol Community College, Dartmouth Mall, Fairhaven, Swansea, New Bedford Terminal, Fall River Terminal, a hospital shuttle, or an intercity trip. The first screen should work like a rider tool: choose service area, open the route page, check live arrival, verify fare and read alerts before walking to the stop.

SRTA Bus Schedule Quick Answer for New Bedford and Fall River Riders

The fastest safe way to use the SRTA bus schedule is to choose your service area first. Use New Bedford Route Schedules for New Bedford-area routes, Fall River Route Schedules for Fall River-area routes, and Route 9 Intercity when traveling between the two city systems. Then check direction, service day, stop location, live arrival information and service notices before leaving.

SRTA Routes and Maps: New Bedford, Fall River, Intercity and Local Service

An SRTA schedule search usually begins with a city choice. SRTA’s official schedule pages separate New Bedford routes from Fall River routes. That matters because the same South Coast rider may need a local city route, Route 9 Intercity, a school route, a MicroConnector link, a demand-response trip or a special shuttle.

🏙️ New Bedford route schedule help

The official New Bedford page lists New Bedford schedules effective March 30, 2026, including Route 9 Intercity, Routes 201 through 206, Route 208, Route 210, Route 211, Route 221, Keith Middle School routes and New Bedford High School routes. Use this page for Fort Rodman, Lund’s Corner, Dartmouth Street, Ashley Boulevard, Shawmut Avenue, Dartmouth Mall, Fairhaven and North End Shuttle-style trips.

🌉 Fall River route schedule help

The official Fall River page lists Fall River schedules effective March 30, 2026, including Route 9 Intercity, Route 101 South Main, Route 102 North Main, Route 103 Laurel Street, Route 104 Robeson Street, Route 105 Stafford Road, Route 107 Bay Street, Route 108 BCC, Route 109 Bedford Street, Route 110 Rodman Street and Route 114 Swansea.

9️⃣ Route 9 Intercity

Route 9 is important because it appears on both New Bedford and Fall River schedule pages. Use Route 9 when your trip crosses between the two city systems rather than staying on a local route. For time-sensitive trips, check direction, stops, transfer timing and live information before leaving.

SRTA Live Bus Times, Bustracker App, Bus Time and Real-Time Arrival Help

SRTA riders often need “next bus” information, not only a printed schedule. SRTA’s Bus Time page and SRTA Bustracker app are designed for real-time bus tracking and schedule information for SRTA fixed-route service. These tools are useful when you are close to departure, checking a stop, comparing route options or trying to understand whether a bus is delayed.

📲 When to use SRTA Bustracker

Use SRTA Bustracker when you already know the route or stop and need live location or arrival guidance. The app listings describe real-time bus tracking and schedule information for SRTA fixed-route service in communities such as Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River, Freetown, Mattapoisett, New Bedford, Somerset, Swansea and Westport.

⏱️ When to use SRTA Bus Time

Use Bus Time when you want official web-based help with route schedules, estimated arrivals, bus locations, Google Transit trip planning or alert subscriptions. It is especially useful if you are not using the app or if you want to verify app information through SRTA’s site.

⚠️ Why live times may change

Live arrival predictions can move because of traffic, bridge delays, winter weather, road work, school dismissal, terminal congestion, boarding delays, detours or missing GPS data. A live prediction is helpful, but it should be paired with service notices and detour pages for important trips.

SRTA Fares and Passes: Cash, CharlieCard, Transfers and Fare Notice Checks

SRTA’s official fare page lists fare products and pass options, including cash fare, CharlieCard fare, all-day pass, week pass, 10-ride pass, student options, 31-day passes and transfer notes. However, SRTA has also posted fare-related notices in service updates, so always check current notices before assuming the fare program has not changed.

💵 Published fare examples

SRTA’s fare page lists regular cash fare at $1.50, reduced cash fare at $0.75, regular CharlieCard fare at $1.25 and reduced CharlieCard fare at $0.60. It also lists one free transfer with timing and direction rules. Because fare policies can change, verify directly on SRTA’s fare page and current notices before boarding.

🧾 Pass planning

SRTA lists pass products such as one ride, all day, week pass, 10 ride, 10 ride student, 31 day and senior/disabled/school pass. Pass choice depends on how often you ride, whether you transfer, and whether your route is fixed-route or demand-response.

🪙 Cash and transfer caution

If you use cash, prepare before boarding. Transfer rules are not the same as unlimited travel, and SRTA’s fare page describes timing and direction limits. If your connection is important, check the fare page and schedule before relying on a transfer.

SRTA Service Notices, Detours, Snow Routes and Holiday Service

SRTA’s service notice page shows frequent service disruptions and updates. That makes alerts one of the most important parts of the rider workflow. A bus schedule can be correct on paper while a service disruption, snow route, event detour or road condition changes the real trip.

⚠️ Check notices before walking to the stop

• Check SRTA Service Notices for same-day disruptions and service-change posts.
• Check Detours when there is construction, an event, road closure or temporary stop issue.
• Check Snow Routes during winter weather, because route paths and stops may change.
• Check Holiday Service before planning a trip on or near a holiday.
• Check Bus Time or Bustracker near departure so you do not rely only on a static PDF.

SRTA Special Services: MicroConnector, Demand Response, Hospital Shuttle and Regional Links

Not every SRTA-related trip is a normal fixed-route bus trip. Some riders may need MicroConnector, Wareham–New Bedford Connection, Boston Hospital Shuttle, Gateway Link or Demand Response. These services have different booking, route, eligibility, destination or partner-agency rules, so do not treat them like a normal route timetable.

🚐 MicroConnector

SRTA’s official navigation links MicroConnector from its route schedule menu. Use MicroConnector resources when your trip is part of a microtransit or connector program rather than a standard fixed route.

🏥 Boston Hospital Shuttle

The Boston Hospital Shuttle is listed under SRTA’s route schedule and demand-response navigation. Use the official shuttle page before planning medical trips because timing, reservations, rider eligibility or pickup rules can differ from normal bus schedules.

♿ Demand Response

Demand Response is separate from fixed-route schedules. Use SRTA’s Demand Response page if you need eligibility details, service rules, booking procedures or ADA-style rider support.

SRTA Stops and Terminals: New Bedford Terminal, Fall River Terminal and Wrong-Side Stop Mistakes

SRTA riders often make a correct route choice but wait at the wrong stop, wrong side of the street or wrong terminal area. This is especially common near major terminals, downtown stops, school-route locations, college stops, shopping corridors and intercity transfer points.

🏢 New Bedford Terminal

New Bedford Terminal is a major SRTA transfer point. Confirm the route number, direction, bay or stop area before waiting. If you are transferring from one New Bedford route to Route 9 or another city service, leave extra time.

🏢 Fall River Terminal

Fall River Terminal is the key local and intercity transfer point for Fall River riders. Check the route number, direction and stop area, especially when using Route 9, Route 108 BCC, Route 114 Swansea or other routes that may connect beyond a simple local trip.

🚏 Stop ID and direction

If a tool gives a stop ID or specific stop name, use it. A nearby stop across the street may serve the opposite direction. A saved map pin may not show a temporary detour. Match route, destination sign, direction and service notice before waiting.
