Etiquette Essentials for Transit Riders

Form a line or queue at the bus stop or station and wait your turn to board.

Give your seat to pregnant individuals, seniors, people with disabilities, or anyone needing a seat.

If you see someone struggling with bags or a stroller, offer to help if you can do so safely.

If the vehicle is crowded, move to the back to allow others to get on.

Move away from doors and don't block aisles to allow easy boarding and exiting.

Speak in hushed tones or use headphones to decrease noise levels, especially during early morning or late-night trips.

If the bus is empty, it's not a big deal, but when other passengers need a place to sit please put your bags on your lap.

Keep your feet off seats to maintain cleanliness and to make seats available for other passengers.

Use headphones when listening to music or watching videos. Keep the volume low to avoid disturbing others.

Avoid eating food or drink on the bus, as strong smells can bother fellow passengers, and spills can happen on a moving vehicle.

Dispose of trash in designated bins or take it with you. Keep the transit vehicle clean.

Public transit vehicles and stations are designated as no-smoking areas.
