Bus Bridge Stop Locations

Published on October 16, 2024

CATS bus serving as a bus bridge at a gold line platform

A bus bridge is comprised of buses that pick up and drop off along the rail route to transport riders while the rail is not in use. Riders can use the buses in the bus bridge to get to and from any destination the rail would typically take them. 

All bus bridge stops along the Gold Line are located on, or very near to, the station platforms. When the Gold Line platform is in the center of the street, the bus will pick up across from the platform. When the Gold Line platform is on the sides of the street, the bus will pick up on, or very near to, the station platform.

Some bus bridge stops for the Blue Line are located very near to the Blue Line stations, and some are located close by, but not directly at, the rail stations. See the chart below for bus bridge information on the Blue Line.
