Strollers on buses

The safest place for a young child while on-board a bus is in the arms of an adult. For the safety of all transit users:

The maximum size for a stroller is two feet wide and four feet long. This allows for safe maneuverability.
Passengers with strollers may bring their child onboard while the child remains in the stroller.
Securement devices are for wheelchairs and scooters not strollers.
When space permits, passengers may leave their child in the stroller if the passenger holds the stroller and the stroller doesn't block the aisle. The brakes must also be applied.

Personal belongings

Remember to take all your personal belongings with you when you leave the bus.
