Transit center and routes

GMT's Downtown Transit Center, which generally serves local routes, is located in downtown Burlington on Saint Paul Street, between Pearl and Cherry Streets, with adjoining space along Pearl Street. All of the commuter and express routes (56, 86, 96) generally operate from Pearl Street in the vicinity of Saint Paul Street.


Local routes (NextGen)

In June 2019, pairs of local routes were combined, given color-coded route names and through-routed via the Downtown Transit Center (DTC) with new schedules; see "Former routes" below for more information. Most local routes operate seven days a week (certain holidays excluded) with 20-minute or 30-minute service patterns during weekdays between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with weekday service ending at about 10:30 PM. Saturday service operates within 30 to 60 minute headways between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM with service ending between 6:00 PM and 10:30 PM. Sunday service operates within 45 to 90 minute headways during the day between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM.


Commuter and express routes

Commuter and express routes operate weekday rush periods only unless otherwise noted and are limited stop.


Shopping specials

These are shuttle buses that each operate one day per week, in the morning, to/from senior housing centers. The general public is welcome on these routes. (*) denotes Burlington destinations


Former routes

On June 17, 2019, GMT converted all the previously-numbered routes to colored through-routed (via the DTC) services. A short time thereafter, due to passenger feedback, GMT added the route numbers back in with the color scheme. The Red Line was composed of the 7 and 1 routes, the Blue Line with the 6 and 2, the Green Line with the 5 and 9 and the Orange Line with the 10 (and the later addition of the 4, which was originally the Silver Loop after conversion). The 8 became the Gold Loop. On June 14, 2021, due to more customer feedback, the GMT eliminated the color designations in favor of the previous numerical ones. (NB): Northbound; (SB): Southbound


Fares

As of May 20, 2024, the fare is two dollars, with a four dollar daily cap, and a fifty dollar monthly cap. Discounted fares for people under 17, over 60, or who are disabled are one dollar, with a two dollar daily cap and a twenty-five dollar monthly cap. Fares can be paid using the Ride Ready app, a
