Find the Correct Route 24 Schedule Before You Leave
If you searched for 24th bus schedule, you are most likely looking for a local Route 24 / Bus 24 timetable. There is no single nationwide Route 24.
Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Philadelphia all operate completely different Route 24 services. Match the city and transit agency first, then check today’s times, stops, fare, direction, live arrival and service alerts.
Bus 24 Is Different in Every Transit System
The number 24 is only meaningful after you know the transit agency. CTA Route 24 in Chicago is a weekday Wentworth bus. San Francisco’s 24 Divisadero operates 24 hours daily. Seattle Metro Route 24 serves Magnolia and Downtown. SEPTA Route 24 serves Northeast Philadelphia and suburban communities toward Southampton, Rockledge and Bethayres.
Start with where you are boarding.
CTA, Muni, Metro, SEPTA or another operator.
Read the destination/headsign carefully.
Confirm the stop ID, curb or terminal.
Recheck the bus shortly before leaving.

Cash paid directly on the bus is currently $2.50 and does not include transfers.

Scheduled Time vs Live Arrival
Scheduled time is the planned timetable. Live arrival is a prediction based on vehicle location or real-time transit data where available.
Traffic, road construction, events, detours, operator availability, weather and GPS/data problems can change a prediction.
Use the official tracker, schedule or trip planner.
Confirm the city before selecting the route.
Match the destination shown on the bus.
Use the correct stop name, ID or map pin.
Recheck shortly before walking to the stop.
