The Tracer bus system will travel five fixed routes around town from 7:15 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
The routes span from West Valley Mall on the west side of town to the Prime Outlets on the east and Monticello Elementary School on Cambridge Place to the south.
The City Council last month voted to increase fares this summer by a quarter, to $1.25 for adults and $1 for students one way.
One-way tickets will remain 50 cents for seniors.
Every month, about 7,000 people ride the bus. This month, the city expects 10,000 riders.
Bus rides are free in April and December every year since 2002.
All buses are wheelchair accessible and have bike racks, Jayne Pramod, the city’s transportation coordinator, said.
