Find Your Route 25 Bus Times, Stops, Fare, Map and Live Arrival Tool
Route 25 is not one nationwide bus line. Buffalo, Cleveland, Montgomery County, Chattanooga, Athens, Cobb County, Oroville and San Diego all use Route 25 for different streets, stops, destinations and schedules.
Start with the city and transit agency. This guide then helps you check the right timetable, direction, official PDF, stop ID, fare, service day, live arrival and route-specific exception before you travel.
Do Not Use a Route 25 Timetable Until You Confirm the City
The same number identifies unrelated buses. Cleveland Route 25 runs through the Madison-Clark corridor, Buffalo Route 25 follows Delaware Avenue, San Diego Route 25 runs between Fashion Valley and Kearny Mesa, and Chattanooga’s Route 25 is a new 2026 Enterprise South/Amnicola Highway service.

Route 25 Times and Service-Day Differences
| Agency | Route | Published Pattern | Rider Detail That Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFTA-Metro | 25 Delaware | Multiple A, B and D variants | Read the letter before the departure time to know which terminal or route variation the trip uses. |
| Greater Cleveland RTA | 25 Madison-Clark | Weekday, Saturday and Sunday/Holiday tables | Some early and late trips begin or end at intermediate timepoints instead of Westgate. |
| Ride On | 25 Takoma | Monday-Friday only | The official PDF explicitly states there is no Saturday or Sunday Route 25 service. |
| CARTA | 25 Enterprise South/Amnicola | New service effective May 10, 2026 | The route replaced the former 3 and 28 while retaining stops from both. |
| ACC Transit | 25 Lexington/Gaines School | Weekday plus night/weekend patterns | Night/weekend routing is different from the basic weekday round-trip pattern. |
| CobbLinc | 25 Cumberland/Holmes | Detailed outbound and inbound web timetables | Check whether your trip is toward Cumberland or MARTA Holmes Station. |
| B-Line | 25 Oro Dam | Monday-Friday timetable | There is a larger midday gap after the 12:12 p.m. Transit Center departure. |
| San Diego MTS | 25 Fashion Valley-Kearny Mesa | Date and direction selectable | Use the actual travel date because MTS schedules are delivered dynamically. |
Route Paths Rebuilt From Official PDF Timepoints
A printed transit PDF often contains far more useful information than a route name. The diagrams below convert official timepoint sequences into easier rider-facing route strips.
Cleveland Route 25 — Westgate to Downtown
The complete GCRTA PDF also lists Madison & Warren, Fulton & Clark, West 25-Ohio City Rapid Station and Lakeview Terrace as timepoints on applicable trips.
Ride On Route 25 — Takoma to Takoma Langley
Route 25 Ticket Prices by Transit System
Route 25 does not have one nationwide fare. Payment rules can matter as much as the dollar amount because cash may not include transfers or fare capping.
What an Hourly Route 25 Actually Looks Like
B-Line’s Oro Dam timetable provides a useful example of why “hourly” can still contain exceptions. The official schedule shows these morning Transit Center departures:
How to Find the Correct Route 25 Stop
The same intersection can have two or more stops serving opposite directions. Transit centers can also assign a route to a specific bay.
Route 25 Live Bus Tracking and Arrival Predictions
A scheduled departure, GPS vehicle location and predicted arrival are separate pieces of information. Use the schedule to know that a trip exists and the tracker to see what is happening now.

The documents below remain hosted by their transit agencies. If an agency blocks iframe viewing, use the direct official PDF button.
GCRTA Route 25 Madison-Clark PDF

Ride On Route 25 Takoma PDF
The timetable is effective September 8, 2024 and explicitly states that Route 25 has no Saturday or Sunday service. Use the current Ride On route page to verify that the older document is still the agency-linked timetable.
B-Line Route 25 Oro Dam Schedule
The B-Line Route 25 page identifies its schedule/map document as effective October 1, 2025. The accessible web version also publishes individual stop codes and departure times.
How to Read a Route 25 Bus Timetable
Route 25 Transfer Planning
Several representative Route 25 services connect directly with rail or major transit hubs, making transfer timing part of the trip rather than an afterthought.
| Route 25 | Transfer Point | Connection | Practical Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland GCRTA | W 117-Madison / W 25-Ohio City | Rapid transit stations | Check rail timing before leaving the bus when the connection is important. |
| Ride On Maryland | Takoma Station | Metrorail and bus services | Use SmarTrip when transfer benefits apply. |
| CobbLinc | MARTA Holmes Station | MARTA rail/bus network | Confirm current Breeze transfer rules and boarding location. |
| San Diego MTS | Fashion Valley Station | Green Line and multiple buses | PRONTO/contactless two-hour transfer rules can matter when connecting. |
| Buffalo NFTA | Downtown / Metropolitan Transportation Center | Metro bus and nearby rail network | MetGo fare capping is more useful than treating every boarding as an unrelated cash trip. |
