Service updates
There are no service updates at this time.
Arriving at bus stops
To avoid missing your bus, be at your bus stop 2-5 minutes before your bus's scheduled arrival time. Bus stops are marked with a white sign displaying the international bus symbol and the Milton Transit and ActiVan logo. Some bus stops also have schedule information available for that stop.
Boarding the bus
All buses display a route name, number and destination above the front windshield and on top of the side window, next to the front doors. Check this information before boarding to make sure you’re getting on the right bus. Let the operator know if you need assistance getting on board or require the bus to be lowered or its ramp to be deployed.
Exiting the bus
Immediately after the bus passes the stop before your intended stop location, you must signal your stop request. You can request a stop in one of three ways:
Pulling down the yellow cord located around the window.
Pressing the Stop Request button on the yellow grab bars or
Pressing the yellow strip along the bottom of the seat (if located in a mobility device securement area).
The interior sign at the front of the bus will illuminate to signal your stop request with an audible chime. The operator will also announce the stop as the bus approaches. Any stop request made in the mobility device securement areas will activate an audible double chime.
You can pay a cash $4.25 fare directly into the fare box when boarding. Operators do not make change for cash fare or handle any cash fare.

Pay and request a transfer

When you need to transfer between routes or from the ActiVan specialized transit service, request a transfer from the bus operator at the time of boarding and fare payment.
