Transfers

If you need to use more than one bus to complete your trip, and are using cash or tickets as fare payment, you will need a transfer to board the connecting bus. Be sure to request a transfer when you board the bus.

If you need to take more than two buses to complete your trip, you may use the same transfer. Please show your transfer to the driver, face-up with time and route punch showing.

Transfers are valid for one-way travel only (you cannot use it on your return trip). Stopovers are not permitted, and transfers must be used on the first connecting bus.

Boarding the Bus

You may board only at designated stops, via the front door of the bus. Have your fare ready when you board the bus, or display your entire Pass to the driver.

Safety on the Bus

Please remain seated 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.

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.

Passenger Responsibility

When your bus is approaching your stop, make sure you are in clear view of the driver.

Have your fare ready when you get on the bus or display your entire Pass. If you are eligible for discount fare, please display your ID.

If you are using a Walkman or other portable music player, please keep the volume down to ensure that you are not disturbing other passengers.
