Routes

Lebanon Transit operates ten bus routes in their conventional bus service, and three express bus routes. On Saturdays, a special route is operated outside of the county to Park City Center shopping mall in neighboring Lancaster County.

All bus routes operate on a hub and spoke style network and depart from the Downtown Bus Terminal on Willow Avenue.{{cite web|title=Lebanon Transit - Routes|url=http://www.lebanontransit.org/maps.html|publisher=Lebanon Transit|accessdate=24 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927134831/http://www.lebanontransit.org/maps.html|archive-date=27 September 2013|url-status=dead}}

=Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority agreement=

On September 9, 2013, LT implemented a pilot service with the Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority, in which a new regional service would be offered linking Reading, Lebanon, Hershey and Harrisburg. The service would use both BARTA and LT buses over the length of the route, and times would be coordinated if a transfer would be necessary between the two agency's buses. The service is expected to be run for a reasonable trial time period, and expanded if found to be adequately patronized.{{cite web|title=Reading - Lebanon - Harrisburg|url=http://lebanontransit.org/Documents/BARTA-LT_Schedule.pdf|publisher=Lebanon Transit (Berks Area Regional Transit Authority)|accessdate=24 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927135122/http://lebanontransit.org/Documents/BARTA-LT_Schedule.pdf|archive-date=27 September 2013|url-status=dead}} The service has hopes of replacing service previously offered by Bieber Tourways, which had abandoned the service on July 1, 2013.{{cite journal|author=Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority|title=Bus Route to Lebanon May Be Reality Soon|journal=BARTA Bulletin|date=July 2013|volume=2|issue=7|pages=Front}}
