  • Each bus displays the name and number of the route above the windshield and next to the front door. Make sure you are boarding the correct bus as several buses may travel along the same route.
  • Please have exact fare ready to deposit in the fare box or have your day, two-week or 31-day bus pass ready. Click HERE for information on purchasing bus passes.
  • When you are about a block away from your destination, signal the driver by pulling the cord above or between the windows.

Wheelchair Access

All Transpo buses are wheelchair accessible, in accordance with ADA guidelines and regulations. Mobility devices must be properly secured to ensure the safety of all Transpo passengers. All Transpo operators are trained in mobility device securement and will assist passengers during the boarding process.

Strollers

The following guidelines have been put in place to protect the safety of children and other passengers on the bus.

Folding the stroller not only makes it easier for other customers to get on and off the bus, but it makes the ride safer for the adult customer and child. A child in a stroller runs the risk of being injured as a result of sudden bus movements.

Please remove the child from the stroller and fold the stroller prior to boarding the bus.

The folded stroller should be stored under or between the seats and out of the way. Strollers may not block the aisle or doors at any time.

The child must be held in the lap of the adult customer or in the seat alongside the adult for the duration of the ride. The care and control of the child is the responsibility of the adult passenger.

Operators are unable to assist with the boarding, folding and storing of strollers.
