Riding Tips... and Rules of the Road
Riding Tips...
- Please don’t take
up more than one seat if the bus or train is crowded.
- Let passengers
exiting the bus or train get off before you get on.
- Stay in your seat
while the vehicle is moving. If no seats are available, move to the
back of the bus or light rail car and hold onto the poles or straps
provided for your safety.
- Seats near the
front of the bus and each light rail car are priority seating for senior
citizens and disabled riders. Please be courteous and give them your
seat if you see them standing.
- Do not lean against
the doors inside a bus or train.
- Do not leave any
valuables in stations or on buses or trains.
- Keep aisles clear
of parcels and packages. Any items you bring on board should be small
enough to fit on your lap or at your feet in front of you. Skis or other
sports equipment should be in protective carrying bags.
- Keep your head
and hands inside the bus at all times.
...and Rules of the Road
- Please don’t engage
in idle conversation with the driver, as this can distract from safe
driving practices and inconvenience other passengers.
- Smoking on buses
and light rail trains is prohibited.
- Shirt and shoes
are required.
- Express and Regional
bus passengers may bring food and drink onto the bus, as long as drinks
are in a sealed cup with a small opening in the lid.
- Radios/boomboxes
may be played only if headphones or ear pieces are used and the volume
is not offensive to other passengers.
- Babies are welcome
if held on your lap. Keep strollers folded up and out of the way of
other passengers. Hold small children securely during your trip.
- Guide, signal and
service dogs are allow to ride for free with passengers who have visual,
hearing or mobility impairments. All other animals are allowed only
if they are kept in a cage or container.
- No weapons, firearms,
or dangerous or flammable materials are allowed.
- No littering.
- No panhandling,
begging, sales or soliciting for donations on buses or light rail trains.
- No vandalism, graffiti
or etching on windows. These are considered crimes and are punishable
by a fine or jail sentence.
- Be kind to other
passengers and your bus driver. Speaking on cell phones disturbs those
around you and may distract the bus driver.
