City Bus


The Bath City Bus provides transportation to anyone within Bath, from and to places where you live, work, and shop! This information is available in alternative formats, upon request.

Flex Service
The City Bus runs Monday-Friday from 8am to 5:30pm. There are two service regions in town: the north loop, serving areas north of Route 1 and the south loop, serving areas south of Route 1.

The bus will make pick-ups anywhere along its travel path on the north and south loops, but since this is a flex service, to be guaranteed that the bus will pick you up go to one of the check-points shown on the service maps. To request to be picked up, please call 1-800-393-9335, Selection 1. To be dropped off, please let the driver know the location where you want to get off when you board the bus. This service is available to everyone at no extra charge.

Each ride on the regular service is $1.

In addition to our flex service, we provide two special services:

Mid Coast Hospital Service: Service is provided to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick twice daily, when requested in advance. An appointment is required and must be made 24 hours in advance. Morning service is provided from City Hall, leaving at 9:30am and returning at 10:00am; afternoon service is provided from City Hall, leaving at 1:30pm and returning at 2:00pm. Each direction costs $2. Call 1-800-393-9335, Selection 1 to schedule an appointment. Please allow 24 hours notice for all advance pick-ups. 

Bath Iron Works Employee Shuttle Service: Busses pick you up at your home, take you to work, and return you in the afternoon—all for $1 each way. Call 1-800-393-9335, Selection 1 to get on the route.

If you require special assistance, please let our staff know as soon as possible—either when scheduling an appointment or when boarding the bus.

*ADA regulations define "service animal" as any animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including but not limited to guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. It is discriminatory to require a person with a disability to certify or register a service animal.
