Bus types during the fair

To help accommodate the increased demand during the fair, MVTA will temporarily shift larger MCI coaches to State Fair Express service from Aug. 27 through Sept. 7.

As a result, some trips on Routes 460, 465, 470, 475, 477, 480 and 490 will operate with 40-foot buses.

These temporary changes help us make the most of our fleet during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding!
