Bus Etiquette and Rules

Basic Public Transit Etiquette and Rules :

• Fare must be paid upon boarding.
• Shirts and shoes must be worn.
• Strollers must be folded.
• Remain seated while the bus is in motion, if possible.
• Smoking or vaping on public transit vehicles is prohibited by law. Please extinguish cigarettes before boarding the bus.
• Finish food and beverages before boarding or keep them in a closed container.
• Please be mindful of our “front of the bus” courtesy seating for the elderly and people with disabilities.  Bus drivers may ask you to move if necessary.
• Please keep your electronic devices and conversations personal. Audio of any kind must be listened to through earbuds and kept at a volume that is not discourteous to other passengers.
• Please use appropriate language -- profanity is prohibited.  Remember: SAM and SAM rides drivers have the right to remove a passenger from the bus if that person is demonstrating loud or abusive behavior.
• Space can sometimes be limited, so please be mindful of your personal hygiene.
• All animals (including service animals) must be under the control of their owner at all times. They must be in a carrier or remain seated on the floor in front of you.
• No unnecessary conversation with the driver while the bus is moving.
• Use designated crosswalks after the bus has pulled away.
