Wave Cards

Register and pick up your bus card from the SLC for $5. Their office also provides help for taking the bus for the first time and unofficial classes on how to master riding the Rapid! Visit their office in the Hekman Library behind Peet’s or through the Calvin Website.

Visit ridetherapid.org for numerous resources for navigating Grand Rapids. Find the bus line map, plan your trip, and reload your Wave Card as needed after the $2 that is preloaded onto the card.

This app offers a super simple and easy-to-understand bus tracking system. It allows you to put in the bus line you’ll be on, the direction you’re heading, and your stop. From there, you can track the times you bus will be arriving at your stop and if it will be late.

This app provides a more in-depth plan for someone riding a bus. myStop has a map with each bus stop shown that allows you to plan your trip and any transfers to reach your destination.
