What is a RUSH bus?
The Bucks County Transportation Management Association understands that many employers throughout Bucks County need improved access to public transportation in order to recruit good workers.  RUSH shuttles are intended to provide this essential last-mile link between existing public transportation services and nearby employers.
 

How much does it cost?
The fare is $1.00 or 1 TMA token, available in packs of 15 for $10.  SEPTA Trail and Trans passes are also valid on RUSH shuttles.  Additionally, if your employer is a member of the Bucks County TMA, you are entitled to ride the RUSH bus that services your employer free of charge.  Ask your supervisor if you aren't sure whether or not your company is a member of the Bucks County TMA.
 

Can anyone ride a RUSH bus?
Yes.  RUSH buses 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 RUSH bus to do--if the schedule and route meets your needs, then you are welcome and encouraged to ride!
 

What if my SEPTA Regional Rail line is running late?
Each RUSH bus is scheduled to meet specific SEPTA Regional Rail trains.  If the train that a particular RUSH bus is scheduled to meet is running late, the RUSH will wait for that train to arrive, regardless of how late the train is.
 

Do I need to schedule pickups on RUSH services?
No.  All RUSH shuttles are public, fixed-route services that operate on a firm schedule.  Use a RUSH shuttle as you would any other public bus.  It's as simple as waiting for the bus to arrive at your stop or flagging it down along the route.
 

Why do RUSH buses run only at certain times and not all day?
RUSH services 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.
 

May I take my bike on the RUSH?
Unfortunately, no.  RUSH buses are not equipped to accommodate bikes at this time.
 

What about the Quakertown RUSH and the Pennridge RUSH?
Both of these services were discontinued in July, 2003.
