Services
JTRAN operates from 5:45 AM to approximately 7:05 PM on weekdays and from 6:15 AM to approximately 7:05 PM on Saturdays. There is no service on Sundays. All routes depart from Union Station, located at 300 West Capitol Street and generally depart at 15 or 45 past the hour. A major route overhaul took place in March 2024. It was intended to simplify schedules, make the routes more direct, and provide easier access to grocery stores across the city. Service to the industrial area around Boiling Avenue via bus route 45 was indefinitely suspended in January 2025. ==Fleet==
