Make MATA transportation services work for you

• Plan your trip: MATA makes it easy to ride the bus. All you need to begin is the address of where you are, the address or cross streets of where you want to go and when you wish to arrive. With that information, there are several ways to find out when and where you catch your bus.
  
• Make a call: One quick way to get route and schedule information is to call the MATA Hot Line at 274-6282. You can give the representative your location, destination and desired arrival time, and you'll get all the information you need to make your trip.
  
• Go online: Log on to www.matatransit.com. Look under "Riding MATA" look under "Maps and Schedules" for the group of routes you are interested in.
  
• Check the bus: Often, you'll find maps and schedules right at the bus stop or even on the bus. You can find how to proceed from that location. Bus Operators are happy to assist you once you are on the bus as well.
  
• Stop at the stop: All bus stops are marked with the Bus Stop signs.  Buses will display route numbers and names in a lighted sign above the windshield.  Operators will announce the route number to passengers at transfer centers, or on streets where more than one route operates to make boarding easier for persons with disabilities.  
  
• Take a seat: You may take any open seat on the bus, but note that the front seats are reserved for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
