Express bus service is a fixed-route service that picks up passengers from park-and-ride lots in suburban areas and takes them to a central urban location. Express bus service runs on longer-distance trips during work-week rush hours and has limited or no service during midday. These commuter routes have limited stops, use high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for faster travel, and stop at the central business district in the city. Fares for the service may be comparable to park-and-ride fares, which are slightly higher than local fixed-route service.
