Service Hours Changes

Beginning April 1, 2026

Bis-Man Transit fixed-route services provide essential mobility for commuters, students, seniors, and families. Existing hours leave gaps for many who work non-traditional shifts or need options beyond what is currently provided.

Similarly, the paratransit services support the elderly and individuals with disabilities who require demand-response options, yet Sunday hours remain limited. Currently, there are no public transportation options for the general public on Sundays and Holidays.

To address these needs, Bis-Man Transit collected input from the public in Bismarck and Mandan, and the City of Bismarck Transportation Steering Committee. On February 10th, 2026, the Bismarck City Commission approved Bis-Man Transit's request to expand Bis-Man Transit's service hours.

Beginning April 1st, 2026:

Fixed Route CAT Bus Service


Monday - Friday
6:00AM - 10:00PM

Saturday
7:00AM - 10:00PM

Sunday Demand Response Service
7:30AM - 6:00PM

Demand response curb-to-curb service will be available to the general public within the cities of Bismarck and Mandan.

General public riders will need to 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.

The cost for the demand response service will be $3.00 per ride.
