COVID-19 Protocols
Face Masks
In response to the increased spread of the COVID-19 virus across the country, and in response with the executive order signed by President Biden, and the order issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Intracity Transit will continue to require a CDC approved face mask be worn over the mouth and nose by passengers and operators at all times while on IT vehicles or at the Transportation Depot.
Refusing to wear a mask, unless exempted or excluded under the CDC guidelines, is a violation of federal law and failure to comply will result in denial of boarding or removal, and passengers may be subject to federal penalties.
Using a scarf, or pulling up the collar or neck of a shirt or sweater, is NOT a mask under the new rules.
Pre-screening
All individuals attempting to board the Intracity Transit buses will undergo a body temperature check with a non-invasive, no-touch thermometer, effective immediately and until further notice. Individuals with an elevated temperature will not be allowed to board the transit and will be advised to contact the Hot Springs/Garland County COVID-19 Call Center (501-760-4307) to request a screening for a COVID-19 test.
Days & Hours of Operation
Intracity Transit (IT) buses operate from 6:10 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10:10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday. All bus routes begin and end their daily runs at the Transportation Plaza in downtown Hot Springs. Buses do not run on Sunday or the following holidays:

Boarding & Departing
You may board the bus only at bus stops along the designated routes. To depart the bus, simply pull the signal cord or push the signal button located just above the window a block or so before your desired stop.
Transfers
You may transfer from one bus route to another only at the Transportation Plaza. To transfer to another bus, ask your driver for a transfer ticket when you board the bus. Transfer tickets are free, nontransferable and non-negotiable, and must be used within one hour of receipt.
Exact Fare
When you board the bus, please have the exact amount ready when paying your fare. For security purposes, IT drivers are not permitted to make or carry change. Please place your fare directly into the fare box.
Identification Requirement for Reduced Fare
Identification (ID) is required for senior and disabled reduced fares. When boarding the bus, seniors must present a valid drivers license, state issued ID card, or a picture ID that has their date of birth on it. Disabled individuals are required to present Medicare or other official documents that prove their disability.
Disabled Citizen Services
All IT buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts and other accommodations for our disabled passengers. Guide animals are permitted on IT buses. If you have a special need, please advise your IT driver. Some disabled persons may be eligible for special paratransit service. Call 501-321-6625 for an application and information.
