Routes

Dutchess County Public Transit provides service along six routes in a hub-and-spoke system from Poughkeepsie. In the past, routes ran to the far northeastern reaches of the county, but these routes have been removed from the service area because of lack of ridership.

Regular routes

  • All routes operate Monday-Saturday unless otherwise noted. Routes A, B and H are the only ones that operate Sunday.
  • The one-way fare is $1.75. Transfers are only available to/from routes within the City of Poughkeepsie for 30 cents.
''Poughkeepsie note: Unless otherwise noted, outbound buses originate at the Poughkeepsie Transit Hub near the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, then operate to the Metro-North/Amtrak station, then to their respective destinations. Westbound buses stop at the Poughkeepsie Transit Hub, then operate to the Metro-North station where they terminate.''

RailLink shuttles

These routes operate weekday rush hours only, to and from their namesake Metro-North station.
