Routes
The five main routes are:
- Main Street: Serves businesses on Main Street, the commercial strip off of Route 44 in Arlington, Vassar College, and the western end of the city including the train station which serves Metro-North and Amtrak.
- Southside: Serves residential areas in the southern part of Poughkeepsie as well as the northern commercial strip on Route 9.
- Northside: Serves residential areas in the northern part of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Community College, St. Francis Hospital, and the southern part of Hyde Park to that town's Stop & Shop supermarket. Prior to 2004, was two separate routes (Northside and Hospital), the merger of which was met with much objection.
- Galleria: A combination of the Southside and LOOP A routes, serves residential areas in Poughkeepsie before continuing on Route 9 to serve Poughkeepsie Galleria and South Hills Mall.
- Shopper's Special: A weekday-only variant of the Main Street route that serves the commercial strip in Arlington, but via residential areas rather than the commercial Main Street.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
