Taking the Bus
1. When waiting for the bus, flag the bus driver to make sure they know you want their bus and not a different one.
2. Insert your money into the box at the front of the bus to get your fare ticket. If you need to transfer to another bus in the same bus system (ex. Triangle Transit to Triangle Transit) ask the bus driver for a transfer ticket when you pay your fare.
Remember: The bus driver cannot give you change back so bring exact change!
3. When you want to get off the bus, pull the cord along the window or press the strip above your head. If you are unsure where your stop is, tell the bus driver where you want to go and they should help.
