Valley Regional Transit provides 21 bus routes in the Treasure Valley. Each bus has a designated route with stops along the way, all of which are scheduled and documented in our system maps. We have great tools to plan your trip, track your bus, pay your fare, and navigate the bus system.
Although we have many routes and bus stops, figuring out your trip is pretty quick. Printed route brochures are available at each bus station and in our offices. There are tools online to point out which stops and routes are right for you. Depending on your route and final destination, you may have to transfer to another bus.
Plan Your Trip
We control the bus, not the road. Sometimes there are delays. Follow the bus in real time and see exactly when it will arrive at your stop.
Find it quicker next time with the ETA Spot app.

VRT offers single ride, one-day, 31-day, and annual passes. Most buses require standard fare, except Route 40, which requires regional fare. There are reduced rates for certain riders:
Children 0-5 years old ride free.
Find Your Fare
You can purchase a pass ahead of time at one of our stations, offices, or participating locations. They’re also available on the bus. Or, just pay your fare on your phone.
Purchase any pass in the Umo Mobility app. Both local and universal fares are available for youth and adult riders.
To pay with the app, open the QR code in the wallet section of the app and hold the code in front of the Umo scanner until it briefly flashes green.

If you’re bringing cash on-board to purchase a pass, it’s best to bring the exact amount. Otherwise, change is given on a change card that can be used or redeemed later.
Don’t want to use your phone to pay? No problem. Simply load a Umo Card with money and pay for rides with the tap of a card.

Most VRT buses use fixed-line service. Fixed-line buses are what you probably think of as a traditional bus. To ride, look up when your bus is scheduled to arrive at a stop and make sure you’re ready as it approaches. On fixed-line service, all buses travel along the same route with the same schedule, whether or not you ride.
In Canyon County, VRT On-Demand allows you to get to more places by booking a ride when you need it using our mobile app or website. Once your ride is scheduled, a VRT bus will pick you up at the bus stop, then drop you off at the bus stop closest to your destination.

If you have a bicycle, there is a bicycle rack on the front of every bus. A rack holds at least two bikes. If the rack is full, you can either lock up your bike near the bus stop or wait for the next bus—bikes are not allowed in the buses.
