The ARTS buses provide public transportation on seven routes within city limits and last year transported 1.7 million passengers.

The free bike racks can carry up to two bicycles each and are available on a first-come first-serve basis.  Instructions on how to use bus bike racks are on all ARTS buses and on the Pasadena ARTS website (www.cityofpasadena.net/artsbus). 

Pasadena also offers bicycle parking at more than 1,000 bike racks throughout the city and provides more than 12 miles of bikeways. 

Regular fare on ARTS buses is $.50, and $.25 for students in grades K-12, seniors and persons with disabilities.  Schedules, maps, and bus stop lists are available online at www.cityofpasadena.net/artsbus.
