MyRide Zone
MyRide operates within the Montpelier area.
Due to safety concerns on State Street and Main Street, Green Mountain Transit has implemented a virtual walk zone. Passengers booking a trip beginning or ending in this zone will be asked to walk to or from a nearby virtual bus stop to meet their vehicle or reach their destination.
Passengers who are unable to walk to the nearest virtual bus can alert staff when booking over the phone or in person; those booking through the app can add a note for the driver to alert them.
Hours of Service
- Monday–Friday: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM
