The T becomes first bus system in Kansas to join Google Transit

Current and future riders of the Lawrence Transit System now have one more tool to help them plan routes and get information about the bus system. The T is the first public transit system in Kansas to join Google Transit, a service that allows users to plan trips on public transportation systems throughout the world. Read more about the launch or try the trip planner.

City and KU increase transit coordination

An agreement between the city and the university now allows easier access to both bus systems. KU students, faculty and staff can ride the T fixed-route service free by showing a valid KU Card. Conversely, riders who show a valid T bus pass or transfer slip can ride the KU on Wheels buses for free. Services excluded from the agreement are T Lift, JayLift, SafeBus, and SafeRide. Starting Oct. 1, KU students, faculty and staff need to show the new KU Card to ride T buses free.

Day pass available for the T

Making multiple trips in a single day? Give the day pass a try. The pass is the only one that is purchased directly from the bus driver. Once it's punched, you can use the pass for unlimited rides on that day. Full fare day passes are $2.75, and reduced fare passes are $1.35 with valid identification.
