Route 25 Bus Schedule: Times, Stops & Map

USA Route 25 Schedule & Stop Finder

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.

Quick answer

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.

Find the city Start with the place where you are boarding, not the route number by itself.
Match the agency Confirm NFTA, GCRTA, Ride On, CARTA, ACC Transit, CobbLinc, B-Line or MTS.
Match the destination Read the destination sign because Route 25 branches or terminals can differ.
Check today’s service Weekday, weekend, holiday, school and temporary service can use different times.
Important: Route 25, 25X, B25 and another agency’s Route 25 are not interchangeable. A timetable can look correct while belonging to a completely different city.

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

Westgate Transit Center Western route terminal.
W 117-Madison Rapid transit connection.
Lorain / W 65 Major scheduled timepoint.
Steelyard Commons Major commercial stop.
Downtown Cleveland Ohio City / Lakeview / E 3-Rockwell sequence.

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

Takoma Metro Rail connection and route terminal.
Maple / Sligo Creek Published timepoint.
Houston / Roanoke Published intermediate timepoint.
Carroll / Flower Published intermediate timepoint.
Takoma Langley TC Outer transit-center terminal.
PDF detail that is easy to miss: Ride On estimates approximately 5–8 minutes, 3 minutes, 3 minutes and 4–7 minutes between successive printed Route 25 timepoints. Those are approximate segment times, not guarantees for every stop.

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.

NFTA-Metro Buffalo $2.00 Regular single ride MetGo offers fare capping. Cash is accepted on buses but cash trips are single ride and generally do not receive MetGo fare-capping benefits.

Verify NFTA fare

GCRTA Cleveland $2.50 Individual bus / rapid / BRT fare Cash requires exact change and riders paying cash must pay the full fare again when boarding another RTA vehicle.

Fare trap: never copy a fare from another Route 25 article. The bus number does not determine the price; the transit agency does.
Departure pattern examples

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:

Transit Center
Transit Center
Transit Center
Transit Center
Transit Center
Transit Center
Important exception: after the 12:12 p.m. B-Line departure, the next listed Route 25 Transit Center departure is 2:32 p.m. Never infer a missing 1:12 p.m. trip merely from the earlier hourly pattern.

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.

Agency Match the transit operator.
Route Confirm exactly “25.”
Destination Read the headsign.
Stop ID Save the posted number.
Street side Check travel direction.
Alert Check relocation notices.
NFTA variant letters matter A, B and D identify different Route 25 terminal patterns. Matching only “25 Delaware” is not always enough.
Ride On timepoints are not every stop The official PDF specifically says not all stops are listed on the public timetable.
B-Line exposes stop codes Route 25’s official page includes stop codes, scheduled departures, next-bus links and SMS instructions for individual Oroville stops.
MTS uses stop-level departures Fashion Valley Station has multiple platforms and transit services. Use the exact Route 25 boarding location rather than assuming every bus leaves from the same curb.

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

The two-page document is effective June 7, 2026. It contains the route map plus weekday, Saturday and Sunday/Holiday tables.

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.

PDF rule: do not assume an embedded document stays current forever. Route restructures, seasonal service and system-wide schedule changes can make a previously accurate document obsolete.

How to Read a Route 25 Bus Timetable

Agency
A
Confirm which transit system operates the bus.
Direction
Match the final destination on the bus.
Day
D
Choose weekday, weekend or holiday.
Timepoint
T
Find the closest printed major stop.
Live check
!
Confirm alerts and predictions.
Read down, then across Ride On’s official guide tells riders to read down a timepoint column to find a departure and then across the row to follow that same trip.
Blank or dash can mean no service A trip may not serve every timepoint. Do not automatically interpolate through an empty timetable cell.
Variant letters change the trip NFTA’s A, B and D letters identify different Route 25 terminal patterns.
Intermediate stops require estimation If your stop is between printed timepoints, use the nearest earlier timepoint plus the agency’s stop-level prediction.
Destination signs outrank assumptions The same route number can terminate early or follow another branch. Read the headsign every time.
Do not manufacture missing trips A regular hourly pattern can contain a deliberate gap, as B-Line Route 25 demonstrates around midday.

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.

Wheelchair Access, Reduced Fares, Bikes and Boarding

NFTA accessibility NFTA states that all Metro buses and rail cars are accessible.
GCRTA accessibility The official Route 25 PDF states that all buses are wheelchair accessible.
Ride On accommodation The Route 25 guide directs riders needing ADA reasonable accommodation to MC311 and also identifies MetroAccess as the complementary paratransit option for certified riders.
Reduced fare identification Reduced-fare eligibility varies. Carry the agency-approved card or required ID rather than assuming age alone is enough.
Mobility area versus accessible stop An accessible vehicle does not prove that every temporary sidewalk or bus stop is easy to use.
Bikes and large items Rack capacity and onboard storage policies differ by operator. Check the agency’s rider rules when traveling with a bicycle, stroller or large luggage.
Accessibility wording matters: “all buses are accessible” and “all Route 25 stops are accessible” are different claims. Do not assume the second from the first.

Route 25 Service Alerts, Holidays and Temporary Changes

Buffalo recurring detours NFTA’s Route 25 page can display active route-specific alerts. Check it before relying on a permanent stop.
Chattanooga holiday rules CARTA states Route 25 does not operate on New Year’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
CARTA partial-holiday schedule Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day use Saturday service under CARTA’s published Route 25 holiday guidance.
Ride On weekday-only route A countywide holiday schedule does not create weekend Route 25 service where the route itself has no Saturday or Sunday schedule.
Athens routing changes by period Night/weekend Route 25 routing differs from the basic weekday route. Confirm the correct service period.
Construction can move stops Follow temporary bus-stop signs even when the permanent route map still displays the normal stop.

Route 25 Trip Scenarios That Need Extra Planning

Connecting to Cleveland Rapid Use the GCRTA Route 25 timepoint nearest the Rapid station and compare the rail departure before choosing your bus.
Traveling from Takoma Ride On Route 25 is weekday-only, so a Saturday trip requires a different bus or network plan.
Going to Volkswagen or Amazon in Chattanooga Route 25 is new from May 2026. Use the new Route 25 rather than an old Route 3 or Route 28 schedule.
Traveling in Athens at night Confirm the night/weekend route pattern because it differs from the regular weekday routing.
Connecting with MARTA CobbLinc Route 25 reaches Holmes Station. Allow enough time to locate the correct MARTA boarding area after leaving the bus.
Using B-Line after lunch Do not assume the morning hourly pattern continues uninterrupted through midday; inspect the exact Oro Dam schedule.

Before Boarding Route 25

  • Confirm the correct city.
  • Confirm the transit agency.
  • Check the timetable effective date.
  • Select the correct service day.
  • Read the destination sign or branch letter.
  • Save the exact stop ID when available.
  • Check service alerts and temporary stops.
  • Review the live prediction.
  • Prepare the accepted fare or payment method.
  • Allow extra time for rail or bus transfers.

Route 25 Problems and What to Do Next

You cannot find your Route 25 Add the city and transit agency to the search. A bare “25 bus” query is too ambiguous.
The PDF and website disagree Check both effective dates. Use the current agency route page and service alerts for the final decision.
The tracker shows no bus The trip may be scheduled-only, canceled, delayed, not yet started or temporarily missing GPS reporting.
The bus skipped your stop Check branch letters, limited-stop rules, temporary relocations and whether the vehicle was out of service.
You are waiting on the wrong side Match the bus destination rather than only the intersection name.
You missed an hourly trip Check the next exact departure instead of automatically adding 60 minutes. B-Line Route 25 demonstrates why.
Your cash fare does not transfer Cash-transfer rules differ. MTS, GCRTA and other operators distinguish cash from account-based payment benefits.
The embedded PDF is blank Open the official document directly. Transit-agency servers sometimes restrict iframe display.
Your old route number disappeared Check recent service changes. Chattanooga replaced Routes 3 and 28 with the new Route 25 in May 2026.
You left property on the bus Contact the actual transit operator and provide Route 25, direction, date, approximate time and item description.
