Green Mountain Transit

Green Mountain Transit (GMT) is the regional public transit system based in Burlington, Vermont, which was formed in 2016 through the merger of two more localized transit systems: the Chittenden County Transportation Authority and the Green Mountain Transit Authority. In, the system had a ridership of , or about per weekday as of.

Transit center and routes
GMT's Downtown Transit Center, which generally serves local routes, is located in downtown Burlington on Saint Paul Street, between Pearl and Cherry Streets, with adjoining space along Pearl Street. All of the commuter and express routes (36, 46, 56, 86, 96) generally operate from Pearl Street in the vicinity of Saint Paul Street.

Local routes (NextGen)
In June 2019, pairs of local routes were combined, given color-coded route names and through-routed via the Downtown Transit Center (DTC) with new schedules; see "Former routes" below for more info. Most local routes operate seven days a week (certain holidays excluded) with 20-minute or 30-minute service patterns during the day between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with weekday evening service ending at about 10:30PM.

Commuter and express routes
Commuter and express routes operate weekday rush periods only unless otherwise noted and are limited stop.

Shopping specials
These are shuttle buses that each operate one day per week, in the morning, to/from senior housing centers. The general public is welcome on these routes.

Former routes
On June 17, 2019, GMT converted all the previously-numbered routes to colored through-routed (via the DTC) services. A short time thereafter, due to passenger feedback, GMT added the route numbers back in with the color scheme. The Red Line was composed of the 7 and 1 routes, the Blue Line with the 6 and 2, the Green Line with the 5 and 9 and the Orange Line with the 10 (and the later addition of the 4, which was originally the Silver Loop after conversion). The 8 became the Gold Loop. On June 14, 2021, due to more customer feedback, the GMT eliminated the color designations in favor of the previous numerical ones.

Fares
As of June 18, 2021, GMT will be fare-free for all local routes until May 20, 2024.

As of May 20, 2024, fares will be two dollars, with a four dollar daily cap, and a fifty dollar monthly cap. Discounted fares for people under 17, over 60, or who are disabled are one dollar, with a two dollar daily cap and a twenty five dollar monthly cap. Fares can be paid using the Ride Ready app, a smart card, contactless payment, or cash. However, the fare cap does not apply to cash fares. Fares will not apply on rural services.

Fleet
Most of the GMT fleet is made up of Gillig low-floor transit buses, although a number of New Flyer and Proterra buses are used. MCI long-distance buses and various shuttle buses built on Ford E-350 chassis have been purchased for intercity routes and transit service in outlying towns, respectively.
