1. Wait for the Bus

Arrive at your bus stop 5-10 minutes before the bus is expected to be there. The bus may run 5 or more minutes late depending on traffic and/or other unpredicted circumstances. If you have the transit app on your phone, you can track where the bus is to know more accurately when it will arrive at your stop.  

2. Pay Your Bus Fare

Deposit your fare in the fare box or present your pass to the driver. Cash fare is exact change only. See a full list of fare options including mobile payments here!

3. How to Transfer

Transfers are FREE once you have paid your bus fare or shown your pass to begin your trip! If you need to transfer to the next scheduled bus, notify the driver when you first board.

4. Bus Etiquette 

Be respectful of other passengers and your driver by following the Rider Handbook.

5. Request Your Stop 

When the bus is a block away from your desired stop, pull gently on the stop request line located along the side walls of the bus to notify the driver that you are ready to get off.

6. Safely Exit the Bus

Once the bus has fully stopped, exit through the front door. Never cross in front of the bus after exiting the vehicle.
