Originally founded on December 5, 1992 as the Citizens Area Transit, RTC Transit is a subsidiary of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. With 51 routes and more than 3,900 stops, RTC Transit has a daily ridership of about 178,390 people on any given weekday between its 4 stations (source).

Due to the 24-hour nature of Las Vegas’s casino and hospitality industry, Las Vegas has developed one of the most comprehensive night bus networks in the U.S., and the 24-hour RTC Bonneville Transit Center in particular is touted for having detailed security patrol and an immaculate facility.

The $17 million Bonneville Transit Center broke ground in 2009 in downtown Las Vegas and was designed to accommodate people taking a variety of transportation methods by creating preferred parking for hybrid vehicles, parking spaces for bicycles, and air-conditioned waiting areas for bus passengers. It was also designed to be as green as possible, utilizing solar power and water-efficient landscaping.
