Advice on using public transit

Here are a few suggestions for your comfort and safety on STL buses:

• Before you get onto the bus, have your OPUS card or the exact change in your hand in order to make it easier for you to board.
• Don’t hesitate to tell our driver to wait until you are seated before he takes off. He well do so, as much as possible.
• Don’t hesitate to ask our driver for information about your trip. He will help you as much as possible.
• If someone is sitting in a seat reserved for seniors, for the disabled or for women who are pregnant or with young children, don’t hesitate to politely ask that person to give you the seat.
• In the evening, after 8 p.m., if your are a woman, don’t hesitate to mention to our driver that you would like to get off between two stops in order to be closer to your home. If the situation so allows, the driver will do so with pleasure.
• Rather than getting onto the bus with a number of grocery bags, consider having your groceries delivered to your home.
