Rear Door Helps

Once you have pulled the cord to let the driver know you want to get off at the next stop, prepare to leave by the rear door. This keeps things moving smoothly.

Route Identification

The destination signs used by the Brandon Transit consists of a route number and area to which a vehicle is going. The destination sign is located on the upper front of the bus and the same tour names listed in the schedules.  The route information will also appear on the side of the bus near the front door.

How to Ride the Bus

When you board a Transit Bus move to the rear and find yourself a seat (those boarding after will appreciate it).  All buses have preferred seating for the elderly, people with disabilities and infirm. This area or seats are marked by a National Symbol. Strollers and umbrellas should be folded and parcels kept close at hand or under the seat. If you have to stand please hold on to the overhead rails provided.

If the bus is crowded, ensure that you are removing your bag or backpack and hold the bag low near your knees. Place front chairs in the upright position and stand. Also ensure that you are as far to the rear of the bus as possible to allow for room for the next rider who boards.

Pets on City Transit Buses Policy

Definition: Any animal kept by human beings as a source of companionship and pleasure.

Policy: Guide dogs for the visually impaired, hearing impaired and special needs dogs required by passengers for independent travel, are permitted on a bus provided they are fitted with a proper harness. All dogs must be kept off the seats. Small pets that are kept inside a proper cage or carrier will be permitted on a bus, provided the owner can safely store the container while onboard. Large dogs or other pets that could pose a threat to Brandon Transit patrons, are not permitted on City buses.

Brandon Transit Operators may refuse service at any time, with any pet, should the operator feel an unsafe environment exists for other patrons on the bus.
