The intent is that downtown is the hub for all bus transfers. You can almost use the bus system with any planning this way: get on a bus in the downtown direction (I think all buses are either going to or coming from downtown). Get out at downtown, then look at the signs in the shelters to figure out what bus to get on next. I think the downtown-centric layout of the bus system is quite anachronistic given that downtown is no longer the focal point of Rochester that it once was. --["TobinFricke"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> https://rocwiki.org/RGRTAhttps://rocwiki.org/RGRTA?action=diff&version1=9&version2=10&ts=1123637994RGRTA2005-08-10T01:39:54ZReyTuckerComment added. <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for RGRTA<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 20: </td> <td> Line 20: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ ------<br> + ''2005-08-09 18:39:54'' [[nbsp]] ... still waiting.
