SporTran for Drivers

SporTran traces its history to the 1870's when mule drawn street cars ran from the downtown area to nearby outlying areas. Today, SporTran sports a fleet of over 95 modern heavy duty and smaller cutaway buses equipped to handle all passengers, including those with disabilities. Our buses are powered by the latest emission reduction systems such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and 100% Battery Electric Technology.

Beginning in 2022, all SporTran and SporTran OnDemand rides are Zero Fare! Passengers pay nothing for their trips.

SporTran OnDemand

With input from the community, we’ve created a public transit alternative – SporTran OnDemand! OnDemand offers a direct route from designated OnDemand stop to OnDemand stop for riders in one of the OnDemand locations/zones. Arrive in style in one of our Dodge Caravans or Chevy Malibu and Dodge Challenger sedans. OnDemand has replaced our former LiftLine service, providing direct transport for those in need of Paratransit (ADA) accessibility. Our OnDemand paratransit vans are specially equipped with wheelchair lifts/ramps and other accessibility features that allow maximum mobility for customers with disabilities.

How is OnDemand different than fixed-route bus service?

· OnDemand provides faster service for the OnDemand locations listed below, bypassing the stops and hubs riders don’t need. For example, need to get to the Port of Caddo Bossier from South Shreveport? Book an appointment on the Ecolane App, go to the LSUS OnDemand Stop at your appointment time, and an OnDemand sedan or van will take you directly to the Port.

· OnDemand is being rolled out in phases. We will update the list as we bring new zones into the OnDemand service area.

· OnDemand is an opportunity to build rural connectivity. For citizens in outlying areas without access to a standard bus line, OnDemand can get you to another OnDemand stop or connect you to one of our hubs.

· The best part? OnDemand fares are FREE!
