IT'S EASY TO STAY SAFE!
Arrive at your stop 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
No horseplay or bad behavior while at the bus stop. Do not damage private property near the bus stop.
Do not cross a 4-lane or 3-lane street or highway to board a bus. Also, do not cross a busy 2-lane with heavy or fast moving vehicles. A bus will stop on your side of the street.
If you have to cross a 2-lane street to board a bus, wait until the bus
arrives to stop traffic before you cross.
