When Planning Your Trip
When planning trips on Hampton Roads Transit, keep the following in mind:
- Allow extra time for Sunday trips. Sunday service is more limited than regular weekday service. Build in buffer time when using HRT on Sundays so you don't miss your bus or train.
- Confirm last call times. Some less popular routes may end service earlier than you might expect, even on weekdays. Avoid getting stranded by double checking the final departure time for your route before heading to the stop.
- Subscribe for schedule change alerts. HRT may periodically adjust schedules on some routes. Sign up for email or text alerts about your routes so you have up-to-date, reliable information.
