Transit Center, Buses and Routes
GMT's Downtown Transit Center, which generally serves local routes, is located on Saint Paul Street, between Pearl and Cherry Streets in downtown Burlington, with adjoining space along Pearl Street. All of the commuter and express routes (36, 46, 56, 76, 86, 96) generally operate from Pearl Street in the vicinity of Saint Paul Street.
Most of the fleet is made up of Gillig low-floor transit buses, although a number of older RTS transit buses remain in use, particularly on Burlington Neighborhood Special (school bus) routes. In recent years, MCI long-distance buses and various shuttle buses built on Ford F350 chassis have been purchased for intercity routes and transit service in outlying towns, respectively.
Local Routes
Most local routes operate Monday through Saturday with 30-minute service patterns during the day, with most services leaving the Downtown Transit Center at :15 and :45 after the hour. Some busier routes have 15-minute service during rush hours. Rush hours are generally 6:30 to 9:00 AM and 3:00 to 6:30 PM weekdays.
