Routes

The Volusia County Government governs the county as three regions, and Votran does the same with its service. Bus routes are grouped into three regions:

For the 20-series routes, service hours on the West Side are from roughly 5:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. Service runs hourly on the 20 & 23, bihourly on the 21/22, and three times a day on the 24. The 30-series routes run during rush hour only, but start earlier and end later, because they are oriented towards people taking SunRail to work in Orlando.

The East Side division is the only one that provides Sunday and night service for its routes.[4]

Bus Tracking

Votran recently developed an app that allow customers to track the buses to see if they're delayed.[5]
