| Waiting
for the Bus:
Find the bus stop nearest to your location. Please call (507)288-4353 if you need help finding a bus stop. Be at the bus stop before
the scheduled time the bus passes that point on its route.
Please line up if there are other passengers waiting at the
stop. Have your cash, ticket or pass ready. Remember, the
bus driver does not give change. When you see the bus approaching,
make sure that you are in plain view of the driver and raise
your hand to signal the driver to stop. The bus will pull
in and stop as close to the bus stop sign as practical. Do
not stand inside a shelter or doorway because the driver may
not see you and could pass the stop.
Boarding
the Bus:
When the driver opens the door, step into the bus. Use the
handrails for safety. Show your pass or put your cash into
the fare box. Ask for a transfer if you need to take another
bus to complete your one-way trip. Find a seat. If there
are no seats, please walk to the back of the bus to stand.
Hold onto the handrails, especially if the bus is moving.
Exiting
the Bus:
Bus drivers do not automatically stop at every stop. When
you want to get off the bus, pull the bell cord above the
windows before the bus reaches your stop. Walk to the rear
doors to get off. When the bus comes to a complete stop,
step down and push the bar to exit. Be careful not to get
scarves or bags caught in the door. Be alert for snow covered
and very slippery steps during the winter season. Step down
from the bus onto the curb. If you must cross the street,
wait until after the bus leaves the stop. If you are not
sure where your stop is, you can ask the driver to call
it out to you.
