Valley Regional Transit
Valley Regional Transit (abbreviated VRT) and doing business as ValleyRide, is a public agency which is the main provider of mass transit service in metropolitan Boise, Idaho. Eighteen routes operate in Ada County with seven of these providing six-day-per-week service in Boise. Three routes are provided in Canyon County. Four intercounty commuter lines are also offered. Both a peak hour express route and an all-day limited-stop incarnation of the same route connect Nampa and Meridian.

A fourth express route only runs twice per day in each direction connecting Caldwell and Boise.
