Travel FAQ

How do I find a seat?

The sooner you find a seat, the sooner the bus can continue its trip. So find a seat quickly, but please leave the front seats vacant for elderly and disabled customers who may board after you.

How do I let the driver know I want to get off the bus?

Let the driver know you want to get off by pressing the Stop request button as you approach your stop. The bus driver will pull over at the first stop he or she can safely use after you request your stop.
