When a Route 668 bus arrives at Croydon Station, its number will change to Route 669 and continue along the loop. When a Route 669 bus arrives at Croydon Station, its number will change to Route 668 and continue along the loop. Passengers can travel to all the stops on the loop without changing buses.

Route 669 will travel to Aquinas College in the morning and afternoon on school days. Aquinas College students can catch Route 669 to school instead of Route 380.
