What is TheBus (thebus.org)?

Updated

TheBus (thebus.org) is the official website for the public bus service on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, operated by the City and County of Honolulu. It serves as the online hub for riders, job seekers, and anyone looking for information about Oʻahu's public transportation network, including TheBus, TheHandi-Van paratransit service, and the Skyline rail system.

Who runs it

The site is operated by the City and County of Honolulu, the local government body responsible for Oʻahu's public transit. This means the information published there is official municipal content rather than a third-party or commercial resource.

What the site covers

Based on the site's own navigation and content, thebus.org organizes its offerings around several main areas:

  • Our Bus — information about TheBus service itself
  • TheHandi-Van — the paratransit service for riders who cannot use fixed-route buses
  • Skyline — Honolulu's rail transit line
  • Careers — recruitment for transit-related jobs
  • Contact Us — a way to reach the organization

The Careers section is framed as an invitation to "join the team that keeps Oʻahu moving," pointing to open positions for those interested in working in public transit.

When to use it

Use thebus.org if you need:

  • Official information about bus service on Oʻahu
  • Details on TheHandi-Van eligibility or operations
  • Information about the Skyline rail system
  • Employment opportunities with Honolulu's transit operations

Because this is a government-run transit site, it is the authoritative source for service information rather than a fan page, aggregator, or commercial booking platform. Specific schedules, fares, and route details would be found within the site's individual service sections rather than summarized here.
