How to ride FAST
|
Locate your starting point, your destination and the bus route nearest
them on the map. If the bus route nearest your starting point does not
go to your destination, you can transfer to another route for a nominal
charge. Call 433-1747 to talk with one of our Transit Information
Specialists. They will help you plan your trip or mail schedules for your
specific routes.
The FAST Connector
The FAST connector is a shuttle van service used to extend service to
areas less accessible to larger buses (*see transfers) The FAST connector
service can be used the same way as the bus service.
Check the times
Schedules and detailed route maps for each route show the times buses
travel along each route. The schedule will also tell you when you can
expect to arrive at your destination.
Bus Stops
The bus makes many stops other than those indicated on the individual
route map. To find your nearest stop, look for a blue, red and white FAST
bus sign. Arrive two or three minutes early and wait at the bus sign.
As the bus arrives, check the route number and destination sign above
the windshield to make sure you board the bus you want. If you are not
sure that the bus will take you to your destination, ask the driver.
Wheelchairs are welcome
All of our buses are not wheelchair equipped, however, if you know 24
hours in advance that you will need to use FAST, we will arrange a wheelchair
bus for your route. Call our dispatchers at 433-1745 with the route and
time you will be riding the bus.

How to use the FAST Timetables
|
To follow a bus trip you read across the page.
Times are given only for certain points along the bus route called
Time Points. If your departure or arrival points are between one of
the Time Points, you will estimate the time the bus will be at your
stop.
Locate your stop on the map.
Then find the nearest time point before your stop.
Depending on which way you want to travel, find that time Point on
the schedule. Estimate the number of minutes it will take the bus to
get from the nearest Time Point to your stop.
Then choose the time you need to travel.
When a blank appears under a Time point, it means that a bus does
not pass by that point on that particular trip.
Be at the bus stop a few minutes early to allow for errors in estimating
All times listed may vary with weather or traffic
conditions.
