Our digital trip planner is the easiest way to find the best route for you. Just plug in your current starting point and ideal ending point, and it will find the best route or connection to take you there. You can also find the full list of fixed and commuter routes on the Schedules & Routes page, or within our various trip-planning apps.
The easiest way to purchase an individual trip or multiple-ride passes is through mobile pay with our app partner, Token Transit. The Token Transit app allows customers to purchase bus passes anywhere, anytime on a smartphone, which can then be used as an electronic ticket to board the bus. Customers will need to download the Token Transit App to use the mobile pay option.

Customers can purchase at the TriCounty Link Operations Facility located at 305 Heatley St. in Moncks Corner or online. Office hours are Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Cash, Check or Money Orders accepted. Exact amount required (staff cannot provide change).
All TriCounty Link routes have a designated stop location. You can view designated stops through the MyTCLink app or on the Schedules & Routes page. We are also a flag-stop system and will pick up customers between the scheduled stops along each of the fixed routes

My TCLink is TriCounty Link’s free real-time bus tracking app. The app lets users view bus stop locations, receive announcements and alerts and plan trips on TriCounty Link buses all using real-time data. It’s our mobile solution to help you efficiently and confidently plan a trip with us.
The TriCounty Link route map and schedule brochure will help you navigate your way on our transit system. Inside each route brochure you will find information on the routes schedule, route map, and general information about our system. Below you will find some basic terms and descriptions to help you better read our brochures.
Timepoints are the numbered portion of the route that indicate where the bus is required to be at certain times, and can help you determine how long it takes the bus to travel the route between stops.
A schedule is a timetable that includes timepoints, route stop names, and the timepoints that the bus will be at the stop.
The map will show you the route, its path of travel, and the timepoints where the bus will stop.
Some maps will have an icon that represents route stop locations that are also Park & Ride locations – some of which are connection points with the CARTA bus service.
Flagstop routes still follow a fixed route but will pick up or drop off passengers at any location requested by the passenger along the specific route between timepoints.
*Note: All our routes are NOT flagstop – Commuter Routes (CS) operate with designated stops. Please refer to our routes page for more information.
All TriCounty Link vehicles are wheelchair accessible and meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. We also offer an ADA deviated route service for individuals with a disability or condition that prevents them from using the TriCounty Link flag-stop bus system and who are predetermined as ADA-eligible.
