Instructions

While you're on

Once the bus has come to a stop and the door opens, step on. The operator will kneel the bus or extend the ramp upon request if you need those devices to board the bus.

Please have the exact fare or pass ready when boarding (see Fare Information on page 1). Drivers do make change up to $5.00 prior to 7:00 P.M., but having the exact fare will help give other passengers on-time service. If you need to transfer to another route to complete your trip, please ask for it at the time of paying the fare.

After paying your fare, please sit in the first available seat. If no seats are available, please stand in the area by the rear door and secure yourself. Stand at the front only if the bus is full.

Transfering to other routes

In order to help facilitate your transfer to another route, please inform the operator of the route you are transferring to and the location the transfer is to be made immediately upon boarding. This will provide the operator enough time to contact your connecting bus and inform the operator of the transfer. Once the operator from the connecting bus has been contacted, they will be required to wait up to two (2) minutes past the scheduled departure time at the transfer location. Every effort will be made to assist passengers in completing transfers without significantly delaying service to others.

Stopping the bus to get off

Please give the operator some advance notice when needing to leave the bus. Yellow pull cords are located along the windows throughout the bus. Pull the cords to ring the stop request bell about one-half block before the stop.
