your arms or elbows out of the window. Do not bring combustible
materials such as wet-cell batteries and gasoline containers
onto the bus. To request a stop, pull the bell cord in time
for your driver to be able to stop safely. If disembarking along
Highway 19 let your driver know in advance where you would like
to be dropped off.
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. To get off the bus in rural areas with no designated
bus stops, ask the driver to find a safe place to stop.
Passenger Responsibility
When your bus is approaching your stop, make sure you are in
clear view of the driver and use the "transit wave"
to alert the driver that you are waiting for that bus. If the
bus coming is not your bus, take a step back to signal to driver
that you are not waiting for that bus.
Please have your fare or ticket ready when you get on the bus.
If you are eligible for discount fare, please display your ID.
If you are using a Walkman or other portable music player,
please ensure you are not disturbing other passengers by keeping
the volume down.
When darkness approaches, it becomes difficult for drivers
to see people at bus stops, especially along unlit roads. Please
take safety precautions by wearing light-coloured clothing,
or clothing with reflective material and carry a flashlight
if possible.
