Citylink Overview (2024)

CityLink is a free bus service open to the public with convenient routes to many Edmond locations. All bus routes begin and end at the Transfer Center located at 16 West Third Street. Busses run throughout the day Monday through Friday, with reduced trips available on Saturdays. Route maps and schedules are posted at the covered bus shelters. They can also be easily downloaded or viewed online at CityLinkEdmond.com. Most routes are a 30-minute loop through the Transfer Center where riders can change busses to reach their destination. The route number is displayed on the front of each bus and passengers can tell the driver their destination or pull the signal cord to safely stop. CityLink busses are wheelchair and bicycle friendly. Here's a quick rundown of each route.

The Citywide Access Paratransit Service, or CAPS, is another helpful program that takes residents who cannot drive to shopping locations, medical appointments, even restaurants or other social trips.

To qualify for this program, you must live within Edmond’s city limits, within 3/4 of a mile from a fixed CityLink route and have registered with the CAPS program through Citylink. A pickup must be scheduled at least one day in advance. To schedule, please call 405-509-6370. Lastly, one valuable tool for patrons is the Ride Systems app. Riders can search City of Edmond or the University of Central Oklahoma to view all the available routes. A useful tool is the live bus tracker that gives the current position of each Citylink bus along its route. Visit CitylinkEdmond.com to learn more about the Citylink program.
