Former Plymouth Metrolink Shuttle Riders Can Transfer To And From Fixed Metrolink Routes With Dial-A-Ride

Press release from the City of Plymouth:

July 27, 2020

As COVID-19 has impacted Plymouth Metrolink ridership and service, shuttle buses that previously connected with fixed routes will not operate at this time. Those who require transportation to and from Metrolink Park and Rides can utilize Dial-A-Ride at no extra cost to connect with fixed Metrolink routes.

Going from Dial-A-Ride to fixed route – When boarding Dial-A-Ride from home, pay the driver with cash or Dial-A-Ride punch card and request a paper transfer. That transfer can be used to board a fixed-route Metrolink bus from any Metrolink Park and Ride.

Going from fixed route to Dial-A-Ride – When boarding a fixed-route bus, pay and request a paper transfer. That transfer can be used to board a Dial-A-Ride bus to any location in Plymouth.

Go-To cards accepted for transfers to fixed route – Go-To cards are not accepted as payment on Metrolink Dial-A-Ride, but may be used for transfers. Riders can show their Go-To card to the Dial-A-Ride driver while boarding and state that they intend to transfer to a Metrolink fixed route. Riders can then use their Go-To card as payment when boarding a fixed-route Metrolink bus from Dial-A-Ride.

All Metrolink fares will resume on Saturday, Aug 1.
