Welcome to The Shuttlebus-Zoom Website

For over 30 years, the ShuttleBus has served Southern Maine residents with a convenient and affordable public transportation network. We offer ShuttleBus Local Service within Biddeford, Saco and Old Orchard Beach. We also offer the ShuttleBus Intercity Service that connects the Tri-Towns with Scarborough, South Portland and Portland. In 1998, ShuttleBus joined with MaineDOT and the Maine Turnpike Authority to launch the ZOOM Turnpike Express, a commuter service that links between Biddeford and Saco with downtown Portland.

Director's Message

Public transportation is a shared passenger transportation service which is available for use by the general public, often in distinction from modes such as taxicab, car and/or vanpooling, or for hire bus companies which are not traditionally shared services. Public transportation modes can include buses, trolleys, trains, rapid transit and ferries. Most public transportation runs on scheduled stops (fixed route service) and offers on-demand and/or paratransit services where fixed stops aren't feasible. Paratransit is a subscription service available where applicable for individuals who need a door-to-door service. more...
