Guide to Riding STAGE

Be at least 5 minutes early to your bus stop.
Wait at only designated bus stops.
Before boarding the bus, be sure it is the correct one by checking the signage on the bus and/or checking with the bus driver.
Please have the correct fare ready as you board the bus. Drivers are unable to take checks, bills over $20 or pennies and are unable to make change on the buses. However, a change card can be issued, which may be used for future transit rides.
Wait until the bus is at a complete stop before loading and unloading.
Quickly take a seat once you are on the bus and stay seated while the bus is in motion.
As you get off the bus, be sure to check your seat for any belongings you may have dropped.
Front seats should be saved for the elderly or disabled. If you choose to sit near the front of the bus and an elderly or disabled person needs the seat, you may be asked to move.
Bike racks are available on a first come, first serve basis.
