Everyone has that first way they got around.
Bike rides around the neighborhood. Catching the bus. Getting dropped off by mom or dad. Or finally getting behind the wheel of that first car.
What got you moving back in the day?

Fifty years on the road, and still rolling strong!
WMTS is celebrating 50 years of connecting communities, getting people where they need to go, and showing up day in and day out. From daily commutes to essential rides, it’s been five decades of steady service across Western Maine.
This milestone belongs to the entire WMTS team including our Board of Directors, riders and supporters, both past and present. A huge thank you to every one of you.
Here’s to 50 years behind the wheel, and plenty more miles ahead!

Meet Captain Rich!
Richard has been part of WMTS since April 1993, trading in tractor trailers for a front seat in public transit. Most days you’ll find him rolling through Lewiston/Auburn, occasionally making appearances across the wider service area.
Known by many of his youngest riders as “Captain Rich,” he brings a little extra to every trip, sometimes in the form of a song or two. It’s all part of the ride.
He takes pride in a clean bus, a safe trip, and making sure every passenger gets where they need to go.

🏂 One More Ride on the Sugarloaf Express ⛷️
Unfortunately, ski/snowboard season can't last forever. 😩
Take the stress out of one more trip to the trails with a ride on the Sugarloaf Express.
The last opportunity to ride on our Sugarloaf Express will be April 19th.
Check the schedule, plan ahead, and don’t miss the last rides of the season.
