Having a ride in a taxi isn't as convenient as using this bus. The RTC bus picks up passengers on and off the street. You can catch a Deuce bus every 12 to 15 minutes during peak hours and 15 to 21 minutes at off-peak. It has a comfortable ride with plenty of space as it is an air-conditioned double-decker bus with a recognizable look.
The Deuce bus is designed to be inclusive, clean, and safe for all commuters. It's equipped with lifts, kneel to the curb, and has low floors for wheelchair users. Before entering the bus or booking a ticket on the RTC's Ticket Vending Machine (TVM), ensure you have the exact fare, as the driver and the TVM do not provide change.
There are also a few rules while on board that you should keep in mind:
Paying for a ride on a Deuce bus is super simple. You can buy tickets onboard with cash or use a contactless payment method like credit or debit cards. You can also get a 2-hour, 24-hour, or 3-day pass at the TVM by the bus stop to enjoy unlimited rides.
