We’re currently experiencing an unexpected disruption to real-time departure information systems. Our team is actively working to restore full service, and we expect real-time information to be available again tomorrow morning.

Real-time information remains available on mtd.org and at Passenger Information Kiosks. However, the Transit app, Google Maps, and other third-party apps are currently affected.

For assistance planning your trip or if you have questions, please call us at 217.384.8188.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

Hold your buns and cross with care. Avoid walking in front of the bus; a quick pause can help prevent close calls and keep everyone moving smoothly.
