Starting Monday, March 30, 2020, the BARTA Transportation Center pass sales window will be closed until further notice. The BTC’s Public Restrooms will remain closed until further notice. BARTA requests customers practice “social distancing” while waiting for their bus routes in all waiting areas.

BARTA continues a “Rear Door Entry Policy” for all routes. All customers must board the bus from the rear door to help with social distancing from the driver. If any customer does need assistance and needs to use the front door they will be allowed.

Also, BARTA continues to not collect fares. Free fares began Monday, March 23rd and will continue until further notice.
