A FEW TIPS TO REMEMBER:
- Each bus fare is one-time use only.
- There are no transfers available.
- There are no round-trips available.
- Before the bus arrives have the correct change ready for the driver.
- The two seats directly behind the driver (sometimes marked in yellow) are reserved for pregnant women, the elderly, and the physically challenged.
- When boarding as a female/male couple, it’s customary for the female to board first and when the male boards he pays for both fares.
- When traveling with a group of family and friends it’s customary for everyone in your group to quickly board, and when the last male from your group boards the bus he pays for everyone in the group. This method shows courtesy to the other passengers and to the driver by speeding up the boarding and payment process.
- Hold onto your ticket. Inspectors hop on and off buses to check that passengers have tickets.
