Seasonal Trolley

These free shuttles operate on a timetable-free loop using coaches styled after turn-of-the-century streetcars.

Demand responsive and paratransit services

Demand Responsive service

These lines offer custom "dial a ride" service to neighborhoods and shopping areas, and provide timed transfers to MST's regular fixed-route network. Trips may be scheduled by calling a toll-free number at least one hour in advance. Standing daily and weekly appointments may also be made.

ADA Paratransit service

MST Rides is a program offered to those persons who have a disability that prevents them from using MST's regular fixed-route service.[4]
