Doylestown DART Information The Doylestown DART (Doylestown Area Regional Transit) is a service of the Bucks County Transportation Management Association and is designed to improve access to government, businesses, education, residences and cultural activities. The DART operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The buses will connect with all SEPTA R-5 commuter trains and most Route 55 buses. The DART routes have been planned to encourage use by commuters to and from the Doylestown area, as well as local residents, in an effort to reduce single occupant vehicle use in the area and attempt to alleviate traffic congestion to the greatest extent possible. DART buses will serve all stops along the route every half hour. The DART is being funded through a combination of public grants, private subsidies from area businesses (more are needed!) and a $1.00 per ride fare. Senior citizens (65 and over) will ride free between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays under the Seniors Free Fare Program of the State of Pennsylvania. Seniors also ride free all day Saturday. For more information, please call the Bucks County TMA, 1-866-TMA-RIDE (toll free) or visit the Doylestown DART web site.
