Southwest Missouri
Springfield bus service is a City Utilities layer
The Bus is operated by City Utilities and is the starting source for Springfield fixed routes, Access Express, trip planning, and bus tracking.
In Greene County, Springfield bus questions start with City Utilities, not the county courthouse. City Utilities operates The Bus as a transit division, with fixed-route service, Access Express paratransit information, route maps, trip planning, service alerts, and bus tracking.
That is useful for a resident deciding whether a job, class, appointment, or errand can work without a car. The routes page points riders to maps and schedules, while the main transit page links to trip planning and the rider tools used to see where buses are along a route.
For newcomers, this also explains the local name. “CU Transit” is not a separate city hall department; it is tied to Springfield’s City Utilities system. For county addresses outside Springfield, confirm whether the trip is inside the service area before planning around the bus.
