HOW TO RIDE
Learn how to properly ride the bus with these five easy steps.
#1
Look for and read the bus's head sign.
The head sign provides the bus number and route name.
Other buses pass by and even stop at the same bus stop. Pay attention to the head signs to ensure you're getting on the correct bus.


#2
Flag the bus to stop by waving or holding your arm up.
At a designated bus stop, you'll need to flag the bus to stop. Simply wave or hold your arm in the air to signal the driver to pull over.
Once the bus is fully stopped, the front doors will open.
#3
Enter through the front doors of the bus.
Once the bus has come to a complete stop, the front doors will open. Please remember to always enter the bus through the front doors.
Show the driver your mobile pass or scan your pass, then find a seat and make yourself comfortable.


#4
Pull the cord when your stop is next to signal the driver to stop.
When you're ready to exit the bus, simply pull the cord to signal the driver to stop.
Once the bus comes to a full stop, the doors will open.
