About this file

The document is a draft transit guide for the City of Ocala's SunTran public transportation system, effective January 2025. The comprehensive guide details seven distinct bus routes (Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Yellow A, Yellow B, and Silver/Silver Express), providing complete schedules, route maps, fare information, and rider instructions. The guide covers service areas throughout Ocala, including stops at key locations such as the Downtown Transfer Station, Silver Springs Walmart, College of Central Florida, Mary Sue Rich Community Center, and various medical and commercial sites. Service operates Monday through Saturday, with no service on Sundays and major holidays, and routes generally run from early morning (around 5:00 AM) to late evening (around 10:00 PM).

The transit guide outlines a structured fare system with one-way trip prices ranging from free (for children five and younger) to $1.50 for regular riders, with discounted rates for youth, students, seniors, disabled individuals, and veterans. Passengers can purchase 30-day passes at multiple locations, including the City of Ocala Citizen Service Center and College of Central Florida. The guide emphasizes accessibility, noting compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and provides information on language assistance. Additional features include a MyStop mobile app for real-time bus tracking, clear bus rules, and a QR code for easy digital access to route information. The document is marked as a draft and appears to be part of a broader municipal transportation planning effort.

City of Ocala, Florida Effective January 2025

Transit Guide

DRAFT

Welcome to SunTran

WELCOME ABOARD!

Riding a SunTran bus is easy. This SunTran Transit Guide provides you all the information you need to get started.

HERE’S HOW TO RIDE:

Once you have your trip planned, head to your nearest bus stop location. If you have any questions or problems locating the closest bus stop, you can download our app MyStop (Scan the QR code printed on this guide or on the bus stop sign) to your mobile device for bus locations, times, and stops or contact the SunTran office at 352-401-6999. Arrive about five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive, and please stand or sit in a safe location. If you are near an intersection, the bus always loads past an intersection.

Do not attempt to board the bus while it is stopped at an intersection.

Have your fare ready, step on, pay your fare, and relax in the temperature-controlled comfort of a SunTran bus. Feel free to check with your bus operator when you get on if you are unsure about your route or any connections. When your stop is approaching, press the signal strip to let the operator know that this is where you want to get off. After deboarding, please allow the bus to pull away before crossing the street. Always use the pedestrian crossings and follow all traffic safety rules. Do not attempt to cross the pedestrian crosswalk in front of the bus. Now, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Our goal is to provide you with friendly and efficient service.

Thank you for riding with SunTran!
