SBURT Stops and Direction Guide
SBURT riders board at designated bus stops. The stop order is different by direction, so first decide whether you are going toward Arabi/New Orleans side or toward Poydras.
Google Map Example: Nunez Community College Area
Nunez Community College appears as a major SBURT timepoint, so this map is useful for location orientation. Use it only to understand the area. The official SBURT PDF and parish transit page control the actual stops, times, and service rules.
- Check the direction before walking to a stop.
- Use the official PDF for the actual timepoint.
- Arrive early because scheduled times are approximate.
- Call SBURT if the trip is medical, ADA, or time-sensitive.
SBURT Bus Fare
SBURT is a low-cost local bus service. The parish transit page lists the adult fare, children’s fare, free fare for children under 5, and reduced fare for eligible elderly, disabled, and Medicare passengers.
Have fare ready before boarding to avoid delaying the bus.
Check current rules if traveling with a group or school-age children.
Children should remain supervised while boarding and riding.
Passenger must show accepted ID, such as Medicare card with picture ID or E/D identification.
SBURT Route Deviation Help
SBURT offers route-deviation help under specific conditions. This is useful for riders who cannot easily reach the fixed route, but it is not guaranteed in every case.
Prepare pickup, drop-off, date, and time before calling.
Pre-arranged deviations should be requested at least 24 hours ahead.
Requests may be limited to locations within three-quarters of a mile off the fixed route.
The bus must be able to legally and safely access the location.
Road conditions can cause deviations to be changed or denied.
Scheduled Time vs Live Arrival for SBURT
Scheduled time is the printed timetable time. Live arrival would mean a same-day vehicle prediction, but the official St. Bernard Parish transit page does not show a confirmed public live tracker like a large metro bus system. Treat the PDF times as approximate and check parish notices or call before time-sensitive travel.
Use the current official SBURT schedule PDF first.
Choose westbound toward Arabi or eastbound toward Poydras.
Use the nearest listed timepoint or designated bus stop.
Look for route shifts, adverse traffic notes, or schedule changes.
Use 504-277-1907 for time-sensitive or ADA trips.
SBURT Service Alerts and Same-Day Warnings
SBURT’s official rules note that scheduled times are approximate and alternate routes may be used during adverse traffic conditions. Before a medical appointment, work shift, school trip, or connection, verify that the route is operating normally.
Bicycles on SBURT Buses
The current SBURT PDF says bicycles are not allowed inside the buses for safety reasons. If there is no space on the bike rack, or the bicycle does not fit, the passenger must enter without the bicycle or make different travel arrangements. It also notes that a shuttle bus may sometimes be used and may not accommodate a bike rack.
SBURT Accessibility, ADA Help, and Reduced Fare
SBURT lists a Transit Manager and ADA Coordinator and provides customer service for accessible information. Elderly, disabled, and Medicare passengers may receive a 50% fare discount when they display accepted identification.
