Previously introduced as Route 100, fixed route SMART service in Hamtramck is slated to launch as Route 500 Mound/Hamtramck on Labor Day. The route number was updated to better align with other nearby routes in the system.

A limited / express bus does not service every bus stop along the route, only certain stops. Limited buses will pick-up or drop-off at stops with a LTD sign (approximately every half mile). Express buses will pick up along a designated route, then once it reaches the Detroit city limits, the bus expresses into downtown Detroit.

In some areas, SMART offers Shuttles to take you from the bus to the front door of your job. Some passengers in this situation bus and bike to their destination. All SMART Fixed Route Buses are equipped with bike racks.
