Orbit (a FREE service) uses small buses to serve residential areas and
connect them to local destinations such as shopping areas, other neighborhoods,
major bus routes, schools and multi-generational centers. There are
five Orbit routes: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter.
The Orbit routes use “flag” stops, which means that the
driver will pick up and drop off passengers in residential neighborhoods
provided it is safe to do so. Passengers should wave at the driver to let him
or her know that they would like picked up. On major streets like Mill Avenue,
University Drive and Broadway Road, designated bus stops should be
used. The Orbit will only stop at designated bus
stops where an "Orbit" decal is placed on the blue bus stop signs. This
indicates which routes serve a particular stop. To de-board the bus in a neighborhood, passengers should pull the cord
located near the windows. On major streets like Rural Road or Priest Drive,
designated bus stop should be used.
