The First Trip is the Hardest
Let the WRTA make it easier for you. The WRTA Travel Training program is designed to help people who would like to use the regular WRTA fixed route bus but aren't sure where to begin. You can receive instruction on a one-on-one basis, or you may prefer to bring a friend or relative and do it together – you decide. The instructor will show you how to read a schedule, how to pay your fare, and how to use a specific route or routes, until you are comfortable traveling on your own.
