Step 1 - Check the Map & Schedules

To begin, look at the color Local Service map or Commuter Service map and find the routes that serve your travel needs. The map uses both colors and letters (for Local Service) or numbers (for Commuter Service) to designate the routes. Please keep in mind that you may need to take more than one route during your trip. Once you have identified your routes, you are ready to look at the schedules. Bus stops are identified on the map using the following icons.

Bus Stop - The bus stops only if there is a passenger boarding or exiting the bus at this stop.

Timed Stop - The bus leaves at the scheduled time as shown on the route schedule.

Transfer Point - The bus leaves at the scheduled time as shown on the route schedule. Departures at these stops are scheduled to help passengers transfer to other routes or transit agencies.

Find the stop where you want to board the bus. If that stop is not a Timed Stop or a Transfer Point, then look on the Local Service schedule or Commuter Service schedule and find the closest Timed Stop or Transfer Point prior to where you want to board. The bus will leave that stop at the time shown on the schedule.

See our popular destinations webpage to quickly find Local routes that serve many Roseville locations.

Step 2 - Check the Fare

Review the fares. Single Fares are paid with exact change and are good for one boarding. If you plan on riding the bus frequently, it may be more convenient for you to purchase 10-Ride or 30-Day Passes.

For discounted fare (Senior, Disabled, Medicare, Student, or ADA) ID cards are necessary to validate your discount when boarding.

Learn how to connect to area transit systems.

Step 3 - Board the bus
As the bus approaches, make sure the driver can see you. Check the display above the bus windshield to verify you're catching the correct bus.

Be prepared to board by standing away from the curb until the bus has made a complete stop. Before boarding, allow passengers to exit and permit the driver to assist wheelchair passengers.

Board the bus and insert your pass in the farebox or pay the cash fare (exact change is necessary since drivers do not carry or give change). If you are paying a discounted fare, the proper form of identification must be shown to the driver.

When the bus is moving, stay behind the standing line and out of the stairwells. If the bus is crowded, please move to the rear when you board. If standing, please hold onto the stanchions or overhead straps while the bus is in motion.

Stand behind the white line and out of the stairwells. If the bus is crowded, please move to the rear of the bus when you board. When standing, hold on to the railings while the bus is in motion.

Step 4 - Leave the Bus

When the bus is about one block from your stop, use the stop cord located by the windows to signal the driver that your stop is approaching. After the bus has come to a complete stop, gather your belongings and exit the bus.

Accessible Service

The seats closest to the front of the bus and near the door are reserved for the elderly and passengers with disabilities. Assistance with passenger lifts, wheelchair securement, and fare payment is available when necessary or upon request. Drivers are required to secure all wheelchairs before proceeding. For easier and faster securement, straps are available by calling 745-7560 (TDD: (888) 745-7885).
