Cousins Island is now open. Buses will run on a two-hour delay schedule throughout all of Yarmouth.

Cousins Island is closed off due to a fallen tree. We will keep an eye on that work and let you know if/when we can run buses to the island. Until then, Cousins Island residents can stay put. We have one other bus route on East Main that will re-route to avoid a downed wire. Other than that our buses should be set to make pickups on a two-hour delayed schedule throughout Yarmouth.

There will be a two hour delay to the start of school in Yarmouth today, October 17. Buses will run two hours later than normal. School will end at the regular time.

Yarmouth's Red Line bus pickup may be a running a few minutes late for YES and Rowe students this morning (Thursday, 9/26). Thank you for your patience.

Starting Monday, March 5, the Main Street underpass of the Route 1 bridge will be closed to bus traffic due to height restrictions. We have identified the necessary detours for each of our bus routes and do not see this affecting morning pick-up times. Afternoon drop-off times could be delayed several minutes for bus runs that typically travel under the bridge. After Monday’s runs, we should have a good estimate of how each trip will be impacted, and we thank you for your patience.
