Transit center, buses 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 generally operate from Pearl Street in the vicinity of Saint Paul Street. Most of the fleet is made up of Gillig low-floor transit buses, although a number of older RTS transit buses remain in use, particularly on Burlington Neighborhood Special routes. In recent years, MCI long-distance buses and various shuttle buses built on Ford F350 chassis have been purchased for intercity routes and transit service in outlying towns, respectively.
Local routes (NextGen)
In June 2019, most local routes were combined and through-routed via the Downtown Transit Center and given new schedules. Most local routes operate seven days a week with 20-minute or 30-minute service patterns during the day between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM, with weekday evening service ending at about 11:00PM. On most buses, the destination sign also displays the old route number.
Commuter and express routes
Commuter and express routes operate weekday rush periods only unless otherwise noted and are limited stop.
