Bus

Riding the bus is a cost-effective and convenient way to get to work and around town. It eases the stress, and is a safe, reliable alternative to driving. You can catch up on reading, rest or work while on the bus, not to mention the environmental impact made by taking one more car off the road. Even just one day a week can make a difference!

Green Mountain Transit (GMT) provides a network of bus routes throughout many cities and towns in Chittenden County with regional connections to Washington, Addison, Franklin, and Lamoille Counties.
