Nevada RTC Bus Schedule Finder
Find the Correct RTC Bus Route, Schedule, Stop and Live Arrival Tool
“RTC bus schedule” usually refers to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas or the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County in Reno and Sparks. They are separate agencies with different routes, fares, apps and customer-service numbers.
Choose the correct Nevada region first. Then verify the route number, destination, service day, stop ID, timetable date and current service alert before leaving.

Which RTC Bus Schedule Should You Open?
Choose Southern Nevada for Las Vegas, the Strip, downtown Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City and Harry Reid International Airport. Choose RTC Washoe for Reno, Sparks, nearby Washoe County communities and the Regional Connector to Carson City.
RTC of Southern Nevada
This is the main result for Las Vegas visitors and residents. RTC operates fixed bus routes, Strip service, airport routes, express routes, park-and-ride connections, RTC OnDemand and paratransit.
RTC Washoe
This is the correct system for Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, Stead, Spanish Springs, South Meadows and other Washoe County destinations.
Wrong-system warning: a Las Vegas RTC route number does not identify a Reno RTC route. The same number can represent a different street, destination, timetable and fare system.

Las Vegas RTC Bus Routes, Schedules and Stops
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada operates public transit throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Its official transit-services page describes a network of 39 routes and more than 400 vehicles.
The official schedules page still labels the current route-and-timetable set as effective October 12, 2025. That date is older than this article’s review date, so riders should reopen the live route page before each important journey.
Strip and downtown
The Deuce operates along Las Vegas Boulevard and serves major visitor destinations.
Airport service
Routes 108, 109 and Centennial Express serve Harry Reid International Airport.
Residential routes
Local routes connect neighborhood corridors, transit centers, shopping areas, hospitals and employment centers.
Express routes
Express services can use major corridors or make fewer stops than a local bus.
RTC OnDemand
Selected West Henderson and southwest-valley areas use an on-demand model rather than one fixed street alignment.
Real-time tracking
Select a route, direction and stop in the official Ride Tracker or Transit tools.
Open the official schedules and maps page.
Visit RTC Southern Nevada schedules.
Choose the full route label.
Distinguish numbered routes from Deuce, CX, SX and other lettered services.
Select weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
Route frequency and first or final trips can change by service day.
Choose the direction.
Match the destination shown on the bus rather than assuming northbound always means downtown.
Find the nearest official stop.
The printed PDF usually shows timepoints, not every intermediate stop.
Check service alerts.
Construction, major events, Formula 1 activity and road closures can move several stops.
August 2026 freshness warning: RTC previously consulted on possible service changes for August 2026. Do not assume a proposal is active until the official route page or timetable displays the final effective date.
Useful Las Vegas RTC Routes and Corridors
This is a practical selection list, not the complete 39-route directory. Open the official schedule index for every available route.
Deuce on the Strip
Las Vegas Boulevard service linking major Strip resorts, downtown Las Vegas and transit connections.
108 Paradise
Links Harry Reid Airport Terminal 1, Tropicana, Flamingo, Paradise, the convention-center area and Bonneville Transit Center.
109 Maryland Parkway
Connects Bonneville Transit Center, Maryland Parkway, UNLV, Harry Reid Airport and South Strip Transit Terminal.
CX Centennial Express
Connects the northwest valley, downtown, UNLV and airport terminals through an express pattern.
201 Tropicana
Travels across the Tropicana corridor. The official timetable identifies 24-hour service on the 201A pattern.
202 Flamingo
Cross-valley Flamingo corridor service with Strip, hotel, hospital and east-valley connections.
SX Sahara Express
Sahara Avenue express corridor with overnight and frequent-service sections identified in the official timetable.

Route-branch warning: a route such as 201 can have branch-specific notes. Read the letter, terminal and timetable footnote instead of assuming every bus follows the entire route.
Deuce on the Strip Schedule and Frequency
The Deuce operates 24 hours a day, every day. The official timetable publishes different overnight and daytime frequency ranges.

Boarding location
Use the exact marked stop. Resort entrances can be far from the nearest Las Vegas Boulevard bus stop.
Travel time
Stop spacing, pedestrian activity, congestion and major events can make the Strip journey much slower than its distance suggests.
F1 and construction
The official timetable warns that race-week routing and related construction can produce temporary modifications.

Holiday limitation
The Regional Connector does not operate on the RTC holiday schedules listed for RIDE and RAPID.
Reno boarding
The official 4th Street Station diagram shows designated Regional Connector boarding positions.
Return trip
Check the complete schedule before leaving because missing a commuter-style departure can create a long delay.

How to Find the Correct RTC Bus Stop
Region
Las Vegas or Washoe.
Route label
Number, Deuce or express.
Destination
Match the bus headsign.
Stop ID
Save the exact number.
Street side
Confirm travel direction.
Alert status
Check relocation.
Open the official route map.
Do not rely on an old screenshot, hotel handout or copied timetable.
Choose the final destination.
The route may turn, loop or split, making a compass direction misleading.
Confirm the exact corner or station bay.
Opposite-direction buses may board from another street or island.
Read temporary-stop signs.
Construction, events and road work can move a stop without removing the permanent pole.
Check the live vehicle.
Match the route number and destination before boarding.
Arrive early.
Be at the boarding area several minutes before the scheduled departure.
Transit-center warning: being at the correct station is not enough. Verify the correct bay or island before the bus arrives.
How to Read an RTC Bus Timetable
System
Southern Nevada or Washoe.
Route
Match the full label.
Direction
Choose the destination.
Day
Select service day.
Alert
Check live changes.
Timepoints are selected stops
Las Vegas route PDFs may state that additional stops exist between the labeled timepoints.
Read footnotes
Airport-terminal notes, branch restrictions and no-service symbols can change the meaning of a timetable row.
AM and PM formatting matters
Some RTC documents use regular and bold type to distinguish morning from afternoon or evening.
A dash can mean no service
Do not treat an empty timepoint as a printing error.
Terminal time is not your stop time
Use the nearest timepoint or stop-level prediction.
Check the month printed on the PDF
A route file can remain online after a newer service change.
RTC Transfers, Transit Centers and Park-and-Ride Connections
| System | Important Facility | Typical Connections | Rider Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas RTC | Bonneville Transit Center | Downtown, numbered routes and express services | Bay assignment and destination sign |
| Las Vegas RTC | South Strip Transit Terminal | 109, Deuce and south-valley routes | Airport versus Strip direction |
| Las Vegas RTC | Centennial Hills Transit Center | CX and northwest-valley services | Park-and-ride location and correct lot |
| RTC Washoe | 4th Street Station | RIDE, RAPID and Regional Connector | Island, route marker and pedestrian walkway |
| RTC Washoe | Centennial Plaza | Routes 2, 9, 11, 21, 54 and Lincoln Line | Current boarding diagram and stop alert |
Transfer buffer: allow time to walk between bays. A planner may show a technically possible transfer that becomes risky after a small delay.
Wheelchair Access, Paratransit, Bikes and Strollers
Accessible fixed-route service
Confirm both the vehicle and boarding location. A ramp-equipped bus does not make every temporary stop easy to use.
Southern Nevada paratransit
RTC states that paratransit operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for eligible trips within the service rules.
RTC ACCESS Washoe
Eligibility, booking and fare requirements are separate from ordinary RTC RIDE service.
Priority areas
Keep securement spaces and designated seating available for riders using mobility devices.
Bicycle capacity
Follow the agency’s bike-rack loading instructions. Have another plan when the rack is full.
Strollers and luggage
Keep aisles, doors and securement areas clear and follow the operator’s safety instruction.
RTC Service Alerts, Holidays, Construction and Extreme Weather
Las Vegas events
Formula 1, conventions, festivals, sports events and Strip construction can produce temporary routing changes.
Las Vegas heat
Carry water where permitted, use shade and avoid arriving excessively early at an exposed stop during extreme heat.
Reno construction
RTC Washoe frequently posts temporary stop closures associated with active road work.
Snow and ice
Winter conditions in Washoe County can slow service, alter stops or trigger emergency operations.
Saturday-level holidays
RTC Washoe lists selected holidays when RIDE and RAPID use Saturday-level schedules.
Sunday-level holidays
New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas use Sunday-level service under the published Washoe policy.
Regional Connector holiday rule: RTC Washoe states that the Carson Regional Connector does not operate on the listed holiday-service days.

What to Do If You Leave an Item on an RTC Bus
Identify the correct RTC agency.
Las Vegas lost property cannot be searched through RTC Washoe, and Reno property cannot be searched through Southern Nevada RTC.
Write down the trip details.
Include route, direction, boarding stop, exit stop, date and approximate time.
Describe the item precisely.
Note the brand, color, material, markings and non-sensitive contents.
Report sensitive items immediately.
Lock a phone and cancel payment cards instead of waiting for the transit lost-property process.
Allow processing time.
Items may not reach the lost-property office until the vehicle completes its run or returns to the facility.
Bring identification.
The agency may require proof before releasing an item.
Las Vegas transit lost and found
Call 702-228-RIDE (7433). RTC’s contact page groups transit customer service and lost and found together.
Washoe passenger-service help
Start with 775-348-RIDE (7433). RTC ACCESS reservations and lost-property assistance use 775-348-5438.
RTC Bus Checklist Before You Leave
- Confirm Las Vegas RTC or RTC Washoe.
- Match the full route number or name.
- Select the correct weekday or weekend timetable.
- Check the PDF or schedule effective date.
- Confirm the final destination shown on the bus.
- Save the exact stop ID or station bay.
- Check the live arrival and service alert.
- Prepare the correct fare or active mobile pass.
- Allow time for airport or station transfers.
- Save the correct RTC customer-service number.
RTC Bus Schedule Problems and the Correct Next Step
The route number is missing
Confirm that you opened the correct RTC system and that the route was not renamed, replaced or converted to an on-demand service.
The PDF and tracker disagree
Compare the PDF effective date with the current route page and active alert.
No bus appears on the map
The vehicle may not have begun its trip, may have lost GPS reporting or may have been removed from service.
The bus passed the stop
Check whether the vehicle was out of service, full, detoured or serving a limited or different route pattern.
The stop is closed
Read the alert for the temporary replacement corner. Do not wait at the permanent sign after the agency posts a closure.
The fare app is wrong
rideRTC belongs to Southern Nevada. RTC Washoe directs fixed-route riders to Transit and uses RTC CONNECT for selected on-demand or ACCESS functions.
You missed the last trip
Check another official route, OnDemand or FlexRIDE availability, a transit-center connection or a safe alternative.
The PDF frame is blank
Use the official open-PDF button because embedded documents can be blocked while the original file remains available.
