THE BELFAST AND ROCKLAND DASH BUSES
The Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) is a shuttle-style bus service available in both Belfast and Rockland that anyone can use. The buses make a continuous loop Monday through Friday. Bus stops are marked with blue and yellow signs and passengers may be dropped off and picked up anywhere along the route. Passengers pay a $2.00 one-way fare when boarding the bus. $5.00 day passes are also available, as well as 12-punch cards for $20.00 and monthly passes for $50.00.
