Lost & Found

How do I know if I am traveling Inbound or Outbound?
If your bus is heading into downtown Worcester you are heading Inbound. If your bus is heading from downtown Worcester you are heading Outbound.

How do I know if I am getting on to the correct bus?
The route number and destination are listed on the electronic signs located on the front, side and rear of the bus. If you are not sure you are boarding the right bus, ask the driver.

How do I read the bus schedules correctly?
Verify that you have the correct schedule by checking the route number and destination on the front cover. Check to verify the weekday versus weekend travel times. Outbound means buses are traveling away from downtown Worcester. Inbound means buses travel toward downtown Worcester. Locate the intersection that is closest to where you want to board the bus. Although not all stops are shown on the timetable, refer to the time listed at the intersection just before your stop to determine when the bus will arrive at your stop.

How do I contact the WRTA about a complaint or comment?

I noticed a missing bus stop sign. Who should I contact?
