Votran Bus Schedule Changes Effective October 4, 2026
The October changes matter because some older Votran schedules still appear in searches. Use the updated route directory and confirm the correct service day.
Routes 3 and 4 moved to hourly service, with scheduled Transfer Plaza departures at 30 minutes past the hour under the June service plan. Other routes, including Route 5, were adjusted.
Minor schedule adjustments affected Routes 3, 7, 12, 17, 19, 30 and 40. Route 8 changed to Transfer Plaza departures at 35 minutes past the hour. Route 31’s alignment and some trips changed, and Route 60 lost selected weekday trips.
Limited weekday and Saturday trips connect Daytona Beach with West Volusia via Interstate 4. The route does not operate like a frequent local bus.
Passengers who previously used these fixed routes should check VoRide and other available bus connections instead of relying on older timetables.
Sunday Routes 3, 4, 10 and 15 were replaced by VoRide. A Daytona Beach Sunday VoRide zone operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. according to the county’s October announcement.
Votran Bus Routes and Service Areas
Votran’s current official route directory organizes services across East Volusia, Southeast Volusia and West Volusia. The route names below help you select the correct timetable. Route availability, direction and day-of-week service must still be checked individually.
East Volusia — Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Port Orange
West Volusia — DeLand, Orange City, DeBary and Deltona
Southeast Volusia and Day-Specific Routes
Votran Bus Schedule: First Bus, Last Bus and Running Times
Most Votran scheduled bus service runs Monday through Saturday, commonly from around 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., but certain routes begin earlier, end later or operate differently. There is no single first or last bus for the entire Votran network.
Some local routes start earlier or later. Check the first departure at your specific stop.
Not a systemwide last-bus guarantee. Check return trips and evening alternatives.
Some routes run every 30 minutes at certain times; others are hourly or limited-trip services.
How to Check the Correct Timetable
October 2026 Schedule Details Worth Knowing
| Route | Published service detail | What riders should do |
|---|---|---|
| 3 North Ridgewood | Hourly pattern introduced June 28; further minor adjustments October 4. | Confirm the updated stop timetable, not an old :30 departure assumption. |
| 4 South Ridgewood | Hourly service introduced June 28 with Transfer Plaza departures at :30. | Check route-specific operating day and stop times. |
| 8 Halifax | Transfer Plaza departures at :35 under the October 4 change. | Allow time to reach the correct Transfer Plaza bay. |
| 31 SunRail | Selected trips connect directly to Amelia Superstop; Market Place Shopping Center routing changed. | Check the current route alignment and SunRail connection timing. |
| 60 East–West | Selected weekday trips were removed; Sunday service limited to Transfer Plaza–Branch Jail. | Check the correct day and endpoint before planning a cross-county trip. |
| 61X Express | Limited weekday and Saturday departures. | Use the exact published trip, rather than assuming a recurring hourly express. |
Votran Route 61X Cross County Express Schedule
Introduced October 4, 2026, Route 61X offers selected cross-county trips using Interstate 4. Its official announcement identifies one intermediate stop at International Speedway Boulevard and Midway Avenue in Daytona Beach.
| Operating day | Departure location | Published departures |
|---|---|---|
| Monday–Friday | Transfer Plaza, Daytona Beach | 5:05 AM, 6:00 AM, 2:55 PM |

Votran Bus Fare Prices, Day Passes and Reduced Rates
Votran’s published fare structure offers single rides and unlimited-use passes. Since standard bus transfers are not offered, choosing the right pass is especially important when your journey requires multiple boardings.
| Ticket / Pass | Adult | Eligible reduced fare |
|---|---|---|
| Single ride | $2.00 | $1.00 |
| All-day pass | $4.00 | $2.00 |
| 3-day pass | $8.00 | $4.00 |
| 7-day pass | $15.00 | $7.50 |
| 31-day pass | $50.00 | $25.00 |
| Child under 7 | Free with fare-paying adult, up to three qualifying children | |
When Does a Day Pass Save Money?
For a standard adult rider, compare the number of separate bus boardings you need in one day.
A single fare is generally cheaper than an adult day pass.
Two single fares equal the $4 adult day pass price.
A $4 day pass saves $2 compared with three $2 cash boardings.
Who Can Receive Reduced Fares?
Votran lists reduced fares for riders aged 7–18, senior citizens aged 65 or older, and eligible people with disabilities. Riders must carry acceptable proof of eligibility, such as an appropriate government ID, school ID, qualifying Medicare card or Votran photo ID.
How to Buy a Votran Pass
- Decide whether you need a single ride or a multi-day pass.
- Prepare exact cash/coins or an accepted Votran pass.
- For an all-day pass, tell the bus operator before inserting payment.
- For other passes, check the Transfer Plaza, Votran office or authorized sales locations.
- Insert or swipe the pass as instructed. The pass validity period begins at first activation.
- Carry proper identification if using a reduced fare.
How to Track a Votran Bus With MyStop
Votran’s official MyStop system provides route and stop lookup, trip-planning features and real-time bus information where available. A live prediction can change as a bus moves through traffic.
Votran Live Bus Tracking: 5 Steps
Use the exact bus stop, not merely the nearest road or transit center.
Use the official online tracker or app.
Find the Votran bus number.
Match your intended destination.
Confirm the stop name or ID.
Refresh arrival predictions and alerts.
Check a Bus by Stop Number With Vo-To-Go
Votran’s rider instructions also describe a text-message stop lookup system. Look for the stop’s blue-and-white ID tag before using it.
Example format: VO followed immediately by your real stop ID. Do not use a made-up number. Text service availability and carrier charges may vary.
Scheduled Time vs Live Arrival
The official timetable’s planned departure for the route and service day. It does not guarantee the bus is on time.

Does Votran Run on Sundays and Holidays?
Votran has different service patterns for regular weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. East Volusia has selected Sunday transportation, while West and Southeast Volusia may have different restrictions.
Most fixed routes operate, but early, late and peak-hour frequencies differ. Route 61X has specific limited weekday departures.
Some routes follow separate schedules. VoRide zone hours and Route 61X departures may also differ from weekdays.
Routes 3, 4, 10 and 15 were replaced by VoRide in the designated Daytona Beach Sunday zone, 7 AM–7 PM, effective October 4, 2026.
Holiday Travel Warning
Votran publishes special holiday operating information covering holidays such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Not every route or VoRide zone follows the same pattern.
Using Votran for Daytona Beach, DeLand and Beyond
Searching by your destination may be easier than memorizing route numbers. Start with your intended area, then verify that the latest timetable serves the actual bus stop.
Use the relevant A1A, Halifax, Orange Avenue or connecting corridor route. Confirm whether a late or Sunday journey requires a different service.
Start with Route 30, Route 31, Route 60, Route 61X or VoRide according to the specific destination and operating day.
Check the Southeast Connector and designated VoRide zones. Transfers may be required at the Julia Street / Sams Avenue Superstop.
Traveling Outside Volusia County?
Votran is a local and regional Volusia County transit system. It is not a direct replacement for a Jacksonville or Orlando transit network. If your journey continues north toward Jacksonville, plan the separate intercity travel segment first and use our Jacksonville JTA bus route, fare and transfer guide for local transportation after arriving in the Jacksonville area.
For trips requiring a train or a different county’s operator, check all separate schedules and allow enough time for connections. A Votran pass does not automatically provide unlimited travel on other transit networks.
Votran Accessibility, Wheelchair Boarding and VoAccess
Votran states that its fixed-route buses are accessible, with wheelchair lifts or ramps and kneeling capability. Individual stop conditions, curb access, temporary closures and available space should still be considered.
Wheelchair lifts or ramps, vehicle kneeling and securement procedures are available under Votran’s accessibility program.
Specify a wheelchair when booking so an appropriate vehicle can be assigned where available.
VoAccess, formerly known as Votran Gold, provides specialized transportation under separate eligibility and reservation rules.
