Deviations

Deviations are provided on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are required a minimum of 2 hours (or up to 3 days in advance) before service is needed. Your pick up and/or drop off location must be within ¾ of a mile of the preset routing. For example, if you scheduled a deviation within the ¾ Mile Pickup/Drop Off Zone and decide you would like to deviate again or you are on the preset route and would like the connector bus to deviate off the preset route across the street, you would need to make a reservation two hours prior to do so.

Fares

The fares on the Connector Service are the same as the rest of PSTA’s local system. Reduced fares are available for qualified riders with proper ID and multi-ride passes, called GO Cards, are also accepted. For detailed fare information, please call the InfoLine or visit the Bus Fares page where you can also buy tickets online.

Real Time Bus Info

Connector buses might be smaller than our regular fleet of buses, but they’re still equipped with all of the technology we use to provide you with Real Time Bus Info. Follow the simple instructions on the Real Time sign at your bus stop, or visit RidePSTA.net, to find out when the next Connector bus will arrive. (Real Time info provided when the bus is up to 30 minutes away.)
