Transit Maps and Schedules - The City of Asheville

ART Bus Service Update:

**Last Updated January 27th**

Schedule changes starting February 9, 2025

In order to improve service and better meet scheduled arrival and departure times, ART will be making updates to the following routes starting on February 9, 2025: S3, S4, and WE1. These changes will result in buses arriving at some bus stops earlier or later than they do currently. For more information and the new schedules, please see below.

S3:

Bus stop arrival and departure times will change for weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

See updated map and schedule by clicking here.

S4:

Bus arrival and departure times will be updated for weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
All departures from the ART Station will be 5 minutes later than previously scheduled. For example, route S4 will leave at 6:05 AM instead of 6:00 AM, or 6:35 AM instead of 6:30 AM. This change applies throughout the entire day.
The route will no longer continue on as N1 or N2 when arriving at the transit center. If you need to transfer to S4 after getting off your bus, please go to the platform marked S4/WE1(WB).

WE1:

Arrival and departure times will be changed at bus stops between the ART Station and the VA Medical Center. These changes will apply to all trips on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

We hope these upcoming modifications will result in a better rider experience, and more accurate arrival and departure times.
