You might’ve heard the term thrown around lately—maybe in a conversation with a student, at a bus stop, or on social media. So… what is BussMaxxing?
At Arrowhead Transit, we’re proud to say we didn’t just adopt the phrase—we coined it.
BussMaxxing is the idea that riding the bus isn’t just practical… it’s smart. It’s a mindset. It’s how everyday people make the most of their time, money, and community connection. Whether you’re a college student getting to class, a parent running errands, or someone commuting to work, BussMaxxing means you’re maximizing what public transit can do for your life.
BussMaxxing Means:
Saving money — on gas, car repairs, insurance, and more
Reducing stress — letting someone else do the driving
Using time wisely — answering emails, listening to podcasts, or relaxing
Being sustainable — cutting down on carbon emissions and traffic
Staying connected — to your community, your goals, and your future
Where are you going?
We’ve seen high school athletes take the bus to workouts. College students take the bus to internships. Workers take the bus to job sites. That’s BussMaxxing.
It’s not about status—it’s about making smart moves with the resources around you. The bus isn’t your last resort; it’s your launchpad.
So if someone asks you why you’re taking the bus, just smile and say:
“I’m BussMaxxing.”
