  • Have the exact change, a token, or bus pass ready when boarding the bus. This speeds up the boarding process and gets you on your way.
  • If you need to transfer to another bus to complete your ride, ask the driver for a transfer as soon as you board the bus. Transfers will not be issued at any other time.
  • Be considerate to others. Seats in the front of the bus are designated for individuals with with disabilities and senior citizens.
  • About one block before you stop, pull the cord or press the signal bar near the window to let the driver know you want off the bus.
  • Please remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop.
  • For the convenience of those boarding, exit the bus through the rear door.
  • Watch your step as you exit the bus.

For Your Safety And Comfort

  • Do not talk to the driver while the bus is in motion.
  • The use of audio devices without earphones and other disruptive behavior is prohibited.
  • Baby carriages, strollers, or small shopping carts, which cannot be readily collapsed or secured so that they do not block aisles or present an impediment to other passengers are prohibited on the bus.

  • Firearms and hazardous materials (e.g., batteries, gasoline) are prohibited on the bus.
