Downtown Bradenton Transit

Manatee County Government

The Downtown Bradenton Transit Station serves as a central hub for the MCAT bus lines and stands as a welcome addition to the area. The design aims to provide passengers with a unique and comfortable experience, going beyond the traditional notion of a bus stop. As part of the ongoing downtown redevelopment, this station replaces the previous location situated west of the historic courthouse, offering bus riders a new and secure off-street facility.

Sculpted canopies, warm timber tones, and vibrant tile art come together to create an artful and captivating atmosphere for passengers, simultaneously supporting Downtown Bradenton's public art collection. 
“What could be considered a small project in size has made a big impact on the Bradenton community. Our collaboration with multiple stakeholders and users to bring public art into the project added value and vitality for residents and visitors.”

The multi-modal transit hub represents an innovative transportation facility, purposefully designed to cater to diverse modes of travel, including buses, trains, and bicycles. Situated in proximity to an array of  local amenities, such as restaurants, shops, and hotels, this station elevates the passenger experience and supports the revitalization of downtown Bradenton.
The 6-bay transit station brings updated technology to riders in the form of automated ticketing kiosks, along with improved information booths and public facilities.
