1. Plan your trip & find your bus stop

Use Google Maps or the Maps & Schedules page to plan your route. Choose the bus stop closest to your origin and destination. 

2. Track your bus

COMING SOON - stay tuned!

3. Board the bus

Arrive and your stop a few minutes early. Make sure you get on the correct bus by confirming the route number and name on the exterior of the bus. 

Pay your fare 

Find a seat or hold onto the handrails if standing. Be aware of priority seating areas for differently-abled passengers.     

4. Enjoy the ride

Help others enjoy their ride too by keeping noise levels low, keeping the aisle clear, and keeping your personal belongings close to you. 

5. Request your stop

Pay attention to the stops announced or displayed on the bus. Pull the yellow cord to signal the driver that you'd like to get off at the next stop. Make sure to pull early enough that the driver has time and space to safely stop.
