What’s the best way to get around Sunrise Manor? Can you take a bus or a taxi, or do you have to drive everywhere yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public transportation in Sunrise Manor, Nevada includes bus services and taxi services. The local bus system is run by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, which also encourages carpooling and biking to reduce traffic and pollution. There are also two airports nearby.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you should know about the bus system (RTCSNV), including how to get around it, how to pay the fares, and other programs that the RTCSNV has to offer. Then we’ll look at the taxi services in the local area and the options you have for air travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Choose Your Bus Routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The buses from the RTCSNV cover a good span of Sunrise Manor, but unless you just want a lift down a short stretch of East Lake Mead Boulevard, you’re going to need to work out your route before you get on the bus. So how do you do that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, although the RTCSNV’s website has a ride planner built into its home page, I recommend just going straight to Google Maps. For one thing, Google Maps is easier to mess around with to get the specifics as close to your liking as possible. So, you can adjust the time you want to leave, as well as the number of transfers between buses or the amount of walking you’ll do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For another thing, the RTCSNV’s tool is just a fancy way of getting to Google Maps. It literally just plugs your info into Google Maps and shows you a single result. It’s not ideal if you want options to choose from because to find a different route, you have to navigate back to the RTCNVS site to make the changes. Better just to go straight to Google Maps and do it all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By “do it all,” I don’t mean it’s a long process. It’s super easy. Just plug in your starting location and your destination. If you don’t know the exact address, you can just find the spot on the map and select it. Then, if you don’t want to leave right away, you can change the “Leave now” option to “Depart at,” “Arrive by,” or “Last Available,” and enter your desired time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the easiest way to plan out your trip, but if you’d rather do it manually and get the satisfaction of having worked it out yourself, you can use the RTCSNV’s Interactive map\"Opens<\/a> instead, which you can use to select or highlight routes and find stops manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Pay the Fares<\/h2>\n\n\n

You can buy tickets and passes from a number of places, but before you do, there are some things that are important for you to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can come as an unpleasant surprise when you step on the bus and realize that you can’t make exact changes for the fare, especially when you learn afterward that there are simple ways of preventing that from ever having to happen. So, that’s the first thing you need to know: when you’re paying cash for your fare as you board the bus, it has to be with exact change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might have already guessed, you can pay your fare to the driver when you board the bus. You can also buy a ticket from a Ticket Vending Machine, but there are few, if any, within Sunrise Manor itself. Either way, both of these methods require exact change as neither can refund over-payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better way to pay, especially if you plan to use the bus system a lot, is to get the rideRTC app, which supports nearly every kind of ticket and pass (the only ticket it can’t give you is a single-ride ticket for residents). You can use this app on iOS\"Opens<\/a> or Android\"Opens<\/a> and use it to buy tickets, plan your trip, and even get arrival information about your bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After downloading the app, you will need to create an account. After that initial registration, you’ll be good to go! Purchase the pass you want through the app\"Opens<\/a>. Before you board the bus, select “My Passes” and activate your pass so that you can show it to the driver as proof that you’ve paid the fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitor or Resident?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When buying fares and passes, it’s important that you choose correctly between the Visitor and Resident options, as the fares are different. Residents pay less for their fares, and they also get more options for passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced Fares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some individuals qualify for reduced fares based on age or status. This includes youth, seniors, students, veterans, persons with disabilities, Medicare-eligible persons, and customers with Mobility Training. Customers with a valid reduced fare card from another bus system also qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To benefit from reduced fares, you have to get an RTC reduced fare ID card from the Bonneville Transit Center. Because you must present documents to prove that you qualify, here are more details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
