What is a rushbus?
A fixed-route, public transportation peak-hour service provided by TMA Bucks
that is designed to connect workers from existing transportation services to
nearby employers.
How much does it cost?
The base fare is $1.00 (exact change) per trip.
Discounted monthly passes are available to TMA Bucks member companies only.
Please call 215-244-9084 or email
rushbus@rushbus.org for more information.
Senior fare (65 & older) is free with PennDOT/SEPTA issued Senior Transit
Pass.
*Please note that effective January 3, 2012, SEPTA Passes are no longer
valid as fare.
Can anyone ride a rushbus?
Yes. All rushbuses are a public service and function like any other public
bus. You may choose to wait at a scheduled stop to board the bus or flag
the bus down along the route. It doesn't matter what you're using a rushbus
to do -- if the schedule and route meets your needs, then you are welcome
and encouraged to ride!
When does the rushbus operate?
Monday through Friday except on the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
What if my SEPTA Regional Rail line
is running late?
Each rushbus is scheduled to meet specific SEPTA Regional Rail trains. If
the train that a Bristol or Richboro-Warminster
rushbus is scheduled to meet is running late, those rushbuses will wait for
that train to arrive, regardless of how late the train is.
Do I need to schedule pickups on
rushbus services?
No. All rushbus shuttles are public, fixed-route services that operate on a
firm schedule. Use a rushbus as you would any other public bus. It is as
simple as waiting for the bus to arrive at your stop or flagging it down
along the route.
Why do rushbuses run only at
certain times and not all day?
The rushbus shuttles are intended as a means of accessing jobs and are
funded by a federal grant. Therefore, each service is customized around the
shift times of local employers to make the most efficient use of the grant
funds.
Does TMA Bucks hire drivers or mechanics for the rushbus?
No. Please contact
Bucks County Transport (888-795-0740) for more information.
May I take my bike on the rushbus?
Unfortunately, no. The rushbuses are not equipped to accommodate bikes at
this time.
What about strollers?
You may bring a stroller aboard a rushbus as long as it can be folded and
safely stowed.
Are rushbuses accessible for the
disabled?
Yes. All rushbuses are equipped with wheelchair lifts for disabled riders.
Wasn't there a Doylestown rushbus?
This service was discontinued as a result of significant subsidy cutbacks by
the federal government. Bucks County Transport operates the Doylestown DART.
What about the Newtown & Street Road rushbus?
Those services were also discontinued as a result of significant subsidy
cutbacks by the federal government.
