Transportation Glossary
Term Description

Transit services where vehicles run on regular, repetitive, pre-designated, pre-scheduled routes, with no deviation, stopping to pick up and deliver passengers at specific, identified locations. Each fixed-route trip serves the same origins and destinations. Typically, fixed-route service is characterized by printed schedules or timetables, designated bus stops where passengers board and alight, and the use of larger transit vehicles (although the size of the vehicles would be dependent on the number of passengers utilizing the system).
