Safety on the Bus

Please remain seated when the bus is in motion. Do not put 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.

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

Please be ready to travel a few minutes before your scheduled pick-up time. Have your fare ready when you get on the bus.

If you are using a wheelchair, be sure it is equipped with a lap belt.

If you are using a portable music player, please keep the volume down.

Be Patient

If the bus is a few minutes late, please be patient. This is a shared-ride transit service, which makes it difficult to be precisely on time for each pick-up. But if the bus is more than 15 minutes late, please call the transit office to find out what's going on.

Lost and Found

If you lose something on the bus, call Lost and Found at 250-537-9933. If you find something on the bus, give it to the driver, who will deliver it to Lost and Found.

The Salt Spring Island Transit System staff will keep articles in Lost and Found for up to 14 days, then send the articles to a charitable organisation.

Lost and Found is located at Driftwood Newspaper, 328 Lower Ganges Rd.
