Is there public transportation in the Tri-Cities?

Ben Franklin Transit (BFT) is the public bus system serving the Tri-Cities. Options include:

  • Fixed-route buses on more than 40 numbered routes
  • Dial-A-Ride, a by-appointment service for areas or riders fixed routes don’t reach
  • Transit and MyRide apps with real-time arrival information

Fares: adult cash fare is $1.50 ($25 monthly pass, $12 for a 10-ride ticket). Riders 18 and under, seniors 65 and older, and veterans ride free. A reduced fare is available with proof of permanent disability. Exact change is required, because operators can’t make change or accept cash for passes on board.
