The Manchester Transit Authority, or MTA, is a public transportation provider in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was founded in 1973 and operates 11 regular bus routes through the city, including a free downtown circulator. In general, service is hourly, with more frequent service along corridors served by multiple routes, and especially on the downtown circulator. It is a hub and spoke system that meets downtown at Veterans Park (labeled as Center of NH on southbound departing lines) with one line departing from the nearby Canal Street Transportation Center. Service is generally limited to the city of Manchester, with a few lines extending into the neighboring towns of Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett and Londonderry, and one line running express to Nashua.

Circulators and Shopper Shuttles

  • The Downtown Circulator operates for free as a weekday, figure-eight loop through the Millyard and Downtown every ten minutes during peak hours and every twenty minutes during off-peak hours.
  • Route 1 operates as a Healthcare Shuttle connecting Elliot Hospital, Doctors Park on Tarrytown Road, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, Veterans Administration Hospital and the Manchester Mental Health, and is funded through a grant from the FTA.[1]
  • The MTA also operates two Shopper Shuttles, which run only on select days of the week and are funded by private retailers, but which offer free service mostly targeted at senior citizens.
