RIDING THE BUS
Lane Transit District makes it simple to get where
you want, when you want, with easy-to-read
timetables and easy-to-understand route informa
tion.
TIMETABLES
Next to this route guide, a
bus rider's best friend is the
individual timetable. It's
especially useful for your
first ride because it tells you
what times of day your bus
operates and shows the
streets the route travels
along. You can find what
time to catch your bus,
when you'll arrive at your destination and the
fare. The timetable also offers some simple riding
tips. A listing on timetable outlets can be found
on the back of this Route Guide.
SYSTEM MAPS
A colorful route map showing all the Lane Transit
routes and providing general bus riding informa
tion is also available. You can pick up timetables
and the Lane Transit District System Map at your
participating 7-Eleven® Stores, the LTD Customer
Service Center and other area outlets.
CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
If you wish to travel to someplace new and don't
have a timetable or have never taken the bus
before, give our information experts a call at
687-5555. Have a piece of paper and pencil
handy, to jot down information. Tell them:
• Where you are
• Where you want to go
• When you wish to arrive there
Customer Representatives can also answer ques
tions about fares, snowy-day detours and lost
items. And they'll be happy to make official note
of your suggestions or comments and pass them
along to the appropriate LTD department.
The Lane Transit Customer Service Center and

Willamette within the Eugene Transit Station. The
Customer Service Center is open Monday-Friday,

687-5555 or stop by the Customer Service Center.
All lost items are kept one calendar month. If un
claimed, they are turned over to local charity
organizations.
NEIGHBORHOODS, COLORS,
NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS
To make bus riding even easier, Eugene and
Springfield have been divided into neighborhood
areas, each with its own color, symbol and
numbered routes. You'll find these colors and
symbols used to identify routes on LTD timetables
and at departure stations at the Eugene
Transit Station.
ROUTE NAMES AND NUMBERS
The number and name of each route (for example,
#11 THURSTON) is stated on the front of the bus
as it travels outbound, away from the Eugene
Mall. As each bus starts back to the Mall, its sign
changes to EUGENE MALL, keeping the same
number. This system tells you which direction the
bus is traveling.
The point at which the bus sign changes is listed
on all timetables.
FARES
LTD drivers do not carry change so you'll need
the exact fare when you board the bus.
The cost of riding the bus is determined by age
and the number of zones in which you'll be
traveling.
