MTS Access provides curb-to-curb service to the same areas, and during the same days and hours of service that the fixed route buses and trolleys operate. All trip origins and destinations must be within ¾ of a mile of a fixed route bus stop or Trolley station. For travel between service zones, transferring to another vehicle will be required, just as you would transfer on the MTS bus and Trolley network of services.”
