Boarding the Bus
Please have your fare or ticket ready when you board the bus.
Please have your exact fare ready: drivers do not carry change.
Appropriate Attire
- For safety reasons, drivers will refuse service to passengers not wearing shirts and footwear.
- The bus is a great way to get to and from the beach, lake or pool, but please make sure your clothes are dry when boarding.
The priority seating up front on the bus is designated for
people with disabilities, passengers with children in strollers
and seniors—in that order. Please respect the priority
seating designations, and be prepared to move if the driver
asks you to.
Safety on the Bus
Please remain seated or hold onto one of the stanchions when
the bus is in motion. Do not put your arms or elbows out of
the window. Do not bring combustible materials such as wet-cell
batteries and gasoline containers onto the bus. To request a
stop, pull the bell cord in time for your driver to be able
to stop safely.
Getting off the Bus
After leaving the bus, wait until the bus pulls away and you
have a clear view of any oncoming traffic before you cross the
street. To get off the bus in rural areas with no designated
bus stops, ask the driver to find a safe place to stop.
Passenger Responsibility
When your bus is approaching your stop, make sure you are in
clear view of the driver and use the "transit wave" to alert
the driver that you are waiting for that bus. If the bus coming
is not your bus, take a step back to signal to driver that you
are not waiting for that bus.
Please have your fare or ticket ready when you get on the bus.
If you are eligible for discount fare, please display your ID.
If you are using a Walkman or other portable music player,
please ensure you are not disturbing other passengers by keeping
the volume down.
When darkness approaches, it becomes difficult for drivers
to see people at bus stops, especially along unlit roads. Please
take safety precautions by wearing light-coloured clothing,
or clothing with reflective material.
