On Sundays & Holidays that the CAT bus does not run, Bis-Man Transit offers demand response curb-to-curb service to the general public within the cities of Bismarck and Mandan.

General public riders are able to schedule rides for Sundays and Holidays. General public riders must follow the same guidelines for scheduling rides as paratransit riders.

Rides must be scheduled at least one day in advance (up to 14 days in advance) by calling the Bis-Man Transit scheduling office at (701) 223-9001 Monday through Sunday between 8:00a.m. and 5:00p.m.

When calling, have the following information handy:

• Name
• Pickup location
• Destination
• Time, date, and day of trip
• Special information like a mobility aid, or other special needs
• When you will return

When scheduling, the rider will be given a 30 minute pickup window. For an on-time pickup, a driver may show up anytime with the 30 minute pickup window. The bus will wait for 5 minutes after arriving at the pick up location before moving on to the next pickup or drop off location.

To cancel a ride, contact the Bis-Man Transit scheduling office by calling (701) 223-9001 at least one hour before the scheduled pickup time.

The cost for the demand response service is $3.00 per ride. Sunday/Holiday demand response riders must pay with exact cash. Drivers do not carry change. Bus operators do not accept checks, credit, or debit cards.

Reduced & free fare not available for Sunday / Holiday demand response rides.
