Find the Correct Bus 2 Schedule by City
The following route finder covers several important U.S. Route 2 services. It is not an exhaustive list of every transit agency using the number.
CTA 2 — Hyde Park Express
CTA Route 2 operates between 60th Street/Cottage Grove Avenue and Navy Pier, connecting Hyde Park and central Chicago with limited-stop express service.
The route makes no stops between the Hyde Park area and Columbus/11th at Museum Campus. This is not a normal all-day neighborhood bus.
King County Metro Route 2
King County Metro Route 2 connects West Queen Anne, Seattle Center, Downtown Seattle, First Hill, Seattle University and Madrona Park.
Some scheduled trips start at intermediate stops or end earlier than the full route. Read one row of the official timetable at a time.
Muni 2 — Sutter
The Muni 2 Sutter connects Presidio Avenue/California Street with the Downtown/Ferry Plaza area via Sutter Street and the Financial District.
September 2026 payment changes mean MuniMobile no longer sells new single-ride tickets; use Clipper, direct bankcard tap or another accepted payment method.
SEPTA Route 2 — 20th–Johnston / Hunting Park
SEPTA Route 2 connects 20th Street/Johnston Street in South Philadelphia with Pulaski Avenue/Hunting Park Avenue, with selected trips extending toward Wayne Junction.
Look carefully for trips to Wayne Junction versus Pulaski/Hunting Park. Not all trips serve every northern endpoint.
LA Metro Line 2 — Westwood / Exposition Park
Los Angeles Metro Line 2 operates between the Westwood/UCLA area and Exposition Park via Sunset Boulevard and intermediate neighborhoods.
Use the official Line 2 PDF for your stop and service day. School-day trips, late-night patterns and connections can differ.
NJ TRANSIT Bus 2 — Jersey City / Secaucus
NJ TRANSIT Route 2 operates between Secaucus Junction, Journal Square Transportation Center and Jersey City-area stops, with trip patterns varying by direction.
Some Route 2 trip patterns or terminal points may differ. Use the current operator’s route listing rather than a generic Jersey City Route 2 search result.
Route 2 Bus Operating Hours by Transit Agency
