The Nantucket Regional Transit Authority (NRTA) operates The WAVE, the island’s public bus system. We serve residents, seasonal visitors, and tourists with eleven fixed routes plus Wave On-Demand — flexible, app-based microtransit. Rides are free through 2027 courtesy of MassDOT.
Our goal is to make island life easier, greener, and more connected for everyone. By leaving the car behind, you help reduce traffic while enjoying accessible, reliable transportation to every corner of Nantucket.
