Rider guide

First time riding the bus?

  • Get to your stop five  to 10 minutes early and wait where the operator can see you.
  • As the bus approaches, check the sign above the front window to make sure it’s the route and destination you want.
  • Signal the operator that you wish to board.
  • Be ready with exact fare, ticket, transfer receipt or pass.
  • Stay back from the curb and wait until the bus comes to a full stop before boarding and paying your fare. Learn how to pay your fare.
  • Disabled passengers have priority seating in the side seats and first rows in the front of buses, so please allow them priority in those seats.
  • If the bus is crowded, GoTriangle allows passengers to stand. If there appears to be no standing room, please wait for the bus operator to create room.
  • Major stops are announced. If you’re new to the area, just ask the operator to call out your destination.
  • About a block before you want to get off, push the black or yellow plastic strip or pull the cord above your head to request the next stop.
  • Exit through the rear door.
