Martha’s Vineyard by Bus

The Island's six towns - Aquinnah, Chilmark, Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Tisbury (Vineyard Haven) and West Tisbury - are served year round by the Martha's Vineyard Transit Authority's bus routes. All VTA buses have bike racks, available at no cost, on a first-come basis.

Ride VTA for $1.00 per town including the one where you board or buy a money-saving, multi-ride pass on the bus or at Steamship Authority ticket counters, the Edgartown Visitors Center and, in season, at stops in Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. Maps are available at the Steamship Authority, town information booths, town halls and libraries, and aboard buses.

Multi-ride passes are available:

One Day Pass = $7.00
Three Day Pass = $15.00
Seven Day Pass = $25.00

Senior citizens 65 years and older and persons with disabilities are entitled to ½ price fare upon request. Children 6 and younger ride for free when accompanied by an adult.

Eating, drinking & smoking are not permitted on the buses at any time. Pets are welcome when on a leash or in a carrier.
