A lot of people dis Lextran, but while I'm only an occasional rider I've been quite pleased with…read moretheir overall service. The buses are nearly all late models with many Gillig buses sporting hydraulic decks than can be lowered to meet the curb and they're also kept relatively clean as far as public transportation vehicles go. In my experience the service runs mostly within 5-10 minutes of schedule and thanks to their fancy GPS tracking system you can get an up-to-the-minute ETA for the next bus by calling their automated response system (859-253-4636) and entering the stop number printed on the sign at each bus stop. Lextran bus fares are among the cheapest in the country, too: $1 regular adult fare with free unlimited transfers, $3 for an unlimited daypass or $30 for an entire month of unlimited rides. They also offer discounted fares with applicable ID for students, children under 18 (kids 6 and under ride free with an adult), senior citizens, people with disabilities and Medicare cardholders. They also currently offer a $15 prepaid pass good for 20 rides with no expiration date, which is great for the occasional rider like me. The biggest drawback to riding Lextran is it only runs inside the Lexington city limits despite being part of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (sorry about your luck, Fayette Countians outside Lexington proper). They also discontinued service to Nicholasville in neighboring Jessamine County on Nov. 1, 2014; the Blue Grass Community Action Partnership offers a "JessLex" service, but it's not nearly as convenient and costs more ($5 round-trip as of January 2015). Another annoyance is you can only pay with cash on board the buses, although at least you can purchase an unlimited daypass from any driver. If you'd like to pay with a credit or debit card and need the full range of available pass options, you either have to go to the Transit Center hub on Vine Street, Lextran's administrative office on West Loudon Avenue or order online via PayPal (gag) and have the pass mailed to your PayPal-confirmed address. Area Kroger stores sell the 30-day unlimited passes, but nothing else. A $75 student "Class Pass" (good for one academic year) can be purchased at Kennedy Bookstore on South Limestone, University of Kentucky Parking Structure 5 (409 S. Limestone) and UK Parking Structure 6 (721 Press Ave., at Virginia Avenue), but those are the only options available at those locations. Lextran recently unveiled a new official mobile app for Android that I haven't tried yet, but to my knowledge they don't offer a comparable iOS app (which is pretty lame since Lexington has an Apple store). The app doesn't appear to offer more than simple schedule information, though. Perhaps it will become more robust over time, but I doubt it since they used a turnkey third-party solution instead of developing their own custom app from scratch. Considering the quality of UK's computer science department, that's also lame. If you want limo service, call a limo. If you're made of money, have to be somewhere as soon as possible and don't have a car, call a cab or Uber. If you can figure out the looping routes (which all start and end at the Transit Center) and have at least a somewhat flexible schedule, don't have unreasonable expectations for a mass transit system and want to save money on transportation while also getting that warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from helping the environment a bit, give Lextran a try. But don't expect stellar customer service from the window attendants at the Transit Center. The drivers are almost all at least reasonably friendly, but the TC reps locked away behind glass seem to range from disinterested and aloof at best to sometimes downright rude.

Every day, EVERY DAY THEY ARE LATE. No wonder Lexington can't catch up to other cities. They do not give the people the necessary transportation to be successful. This is why the place looks like Meth Town when you actually see the whole city. Driver's stop at gas stations and stores mid ride. Sit and talk to people randomly on the streets not even near a bus stop. And How the Hub isn't seeing this on their computers is beyond me. I cannot wait till I move from this city and state.
