Route 3 – Temple via Kutztown Road Highlight of the Week! 🚌 This route travels to North 9th Street, North Reading Plaza shops, Kutztown Road, Berks PA CareerLink, Temple, Muhlenberg Library, and Laurel Pointe Senior Living Community.
Before it became a mall, this site in Muhlenberg Township was home to the Reading Fairgrounds Speedway, which drew crowds for decades. Boscov’s opened here in 1965, and the mall followed about 15 years later as the area fully shifted to retail.
On Friday June 5, 2026, 5th Street and Penn Street will be CLOSED for the World War II Parade from 11:00am until approx. 3:00pm. See our website for detour details: bartabus.com/news-updates/w…
BE NICE Tip of the Month: For your safety, do not run to catch a moving bus. Bus drivers cannot pick up passengers once a bus has left the bus stop. This is for everyone’s safety. Please arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early to ensure you can board safely.
BARTA participated in the Helping Harvest Agency Conference held at Penn State Berks! We enjoyed connecting with community partners, sharing information about our services, & discussing how public transportation helps connect people to essential resources throughout Berks County.
Take the Route 2 to Market and enjoy all the fresh yummy items that Berks County vendors provide for all to enjoy!
June is National Safety Month! Here are a few small safety habits to make every ride safer for everyone!
‼️Attention BARTA Customers‼️ Due to construction at the BTC, there will be a sidewalk closure on 8th Street effective Tuesday, June 2, 2026, until further notice.
Route 2 – Fairgrounds Square Market Highlight of the Week! 🚌 This route travels to the Boscov's at Fairgrounds Square Mall, Fairgrounds Farmer's Market, City of Reading City Hall, and Berks PA CareerLink.
‼️Attention BARTA Customers! Due to renovation activity at the BTC, effective Friday, May 29, 2026, Bus Stops #1 and #8 will be CLOSED until further notice. All other routes will use normal stops. We appreciate your understanding during these renovations.
