Bus Etiquette and Safety
We kindly ask that you respect your fellow students and community members while riding the bus. Here are some tips on how you can help to keep the transit system operating smoothly:
Have your transit pass ready to clearly present to the driver when boarding
Drivers are monitoring the number of riders who board buses to help with physical distancing. Some seats may not be in service to help with distancing.
To allow for single direction of traffic flow onboard the bus, please enter through the front door and exit through the back door. Riders with mobility accommodations will continue to access the front door ramp.
Please wear your mask while on the bus and use hand sanitizer
Be aware of those around you and be conscious of your conversations and actions. When finding a place on the bus, keep an eye out for areas with extra space and respect fellow riders’ personal areas when moving about the bus.
Help keep buses clean by taking any garbage with you when you exit the bus
Give yourself extra travel time; drivers try their best to stay on schedule but some delays are unavoidable.
