Have the correct fare ready ahead of time.
____________________________________
Allow people to get off the bus before boarding.
____________________________________
Stand behind the yellow line on the floor of the bus and refrain from lengthy conversations with the Operator.
____________________________________
Always move to the back of the bus when boarding and upon Operator request to accommodate as many passengers as possible.

Share seats with those who may require them and if possible, offer your seat to a person who might need it, such as a senior citizen, a small child, a pregnant person, or a passenger with a disability.
____________________________________
Remove your backpack while on the bus and hold it in front of you to avoid accidently bumping into other passengers as you pass.

Respect those around you by keeping phone conversations at a low volume and not using the speaker.

Avoid wearing strongly scented perfumes and products for the sake of fellow passengers with allergies and scent sensitivities.
