Find the Right Route 37 Before You Use a Timetable
37 bus schedule does not identify one nationwide bus. Route 37 is used by unrelated transit agencies in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Gainesville, Cincinnati and other cities.
Use the city and transit agency first. Then confirm direction, service day, major stop, fare, current alerts and live arrival before leaving for the stop.
There Is More Than One Route 37
The route number is reused in several transit systems. Do not copy a departure time from a Google result until you have matched the city, transit agency and direction.
Start with where you are physically boarding.
SEPTA, SFMTA, LA Metro, RTS, Cincinnati Metro or another operator.
Match the destination shown on the bus headsign.
Use the exact stop, station, terminal or stop ID.
Confirm predicted arrival and current alerts shortly before leaving.

What to use now: TriMet says replacement coverage is provided by 96-Boones Ferry Rd and 78-Denney/Kerr Pkwy.
Route 37 Schedule Comparison

| Route | Service pattern | Useful timing detail | Before you leave |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEPTA 37 Philadelphia |
Long-span service with airport-area and Chester trips. | Exact trip patterns vary; some trips terminate short of the full Chester–Broad-Snyder route. | Check current schedule plus construction detour. |

Do Not Pick a Bus Using “37” Alone
The destination sign matters as much as the route number. Two buses showing 37 can be traveling in opposite directions.
Route 37 Fare Depends on the Transit Agency
Contactless payment and SEPTA Key include up to two qualifying transfers within 120 minutes. Cash is exact fare and does not provide the same transfer benefit.
Cash and Metro ticket-machine adult fare is $3.00. The standard Muni single ride is valid for 120 minutes.
Metro caps regular fares at $5 per day and $18 over seven days. Transfers are free within two hours when eligible and using the same payment method.
A 24-hour pass is $3.00. Eligible ADA fixed-route riders and certain employee/student groups can ride under prepaid or free-access programs.
The local day pass is $4.40. Metro supports cash, fare products and app-based payment options.
The old Route 37 no longer runs, but this is the standard adult TriMet fare for the replacement network. The fare is valid for 2½ hours.
Which Route 37 Map Should You Open?
A single Google Map would be misleading on this page because these Route 37 services are in different cities. Use the official route map for the city you actually need.
Scheduled Time vs Live Arrival
Scheduled time is the published timetable. Live arrival is a prediction using current vehicle information where available. Traffic, construction, detours, weather, congestion and canceled trips can change the prediction.
Use the agency’s route page, tracker or endorsed app.
Confirm that the city and operator match.
Choose the correct destination or headsign.
Use the exact stop name or stop ID.
Refresh shortly before walking to the stop.

What is the Route 37 bus schedule?
There is no single Route 37 schedule. The route number is used by multiple agencies, so first identify the city and transit system before using any timetable.
What time does the Route 37 bus start?
The first bus depends on the agency, direction and service day. Gainesville RTS, SFMTA, SEPTA and LA Metro all use different service spans. Open the correct official timetable for your city.
What is the last Route 37 bus?
There is no universal last Route 37 bus. Last departures are direction- and stop-specific, and a late trip may terminate before the full route endpoint.

It depends on the city. SFMTA 37 Corbett and Gainesville RTS Route 37 have weekend service, while Cincinnati Metro Route 37 is listed as Monday through Friday.
How much does Route 37 cost?
Fare depends on the operator. Current examples include $2.90 on SEPTA, $2.85 for an adult Clipper/contactless Muni ride, $1.75 on LA Metro, $1.50 on Gainesville RTS and $2.20 on Cincinnati Metro.
Where can I track Route 37 live?

SEPTA Route 37 serves the Philadelphia airport area as part of its route between Chester Transportation Center and Broad-Snyder.
