Transfers    
 

Since no single bus route serves all possible destinations, you may be required to "transfer" from one bus route to another. If you need to transfer you can obtain a transfer pass from your driver when you initially board the bus. A valid transfer allows you to board the bus to which you are transferring at no charge.

Transfers are valid only when used on the first available bus serving your destination.

Transfers are not valid for use on the same route from which the transfer was issued, nor are they valid for use on a return trip.

The B-NPTS uses four principal transfer locations where several of the bus routes intersect. These locations are as follows:

DOWNTOWN BLOOMINGTON — South side of 100 and 200 West Front Street.
UPTOWN NORMAL — South side of North Street (adjacent to Watterson Towers) between School Street and Fell Avenue.
EASTLAND MALL — West side of the mall between Penneys and Kohls.
COLLEGE HILLS MALL — East side of the mall adjacent to Target entrance.

There are signs at each of the four (4) principal transfer locations that answer these key questions:

  • Which bus routes they serve
  • The time each bus leaves
  • The direction of travel, and
  • Points of interest served by each bus route.

Our job is to provide you with safe, efficient and comfortable transportation. If you enjoy your ride, tell your friends. If you have any problems, please contact us at (309) 828-9833.
