Share it with drivers, security officers, and fellow passengers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hold the fries<\/strong>: Please avoid eating or drinking on the bus to maintain a clean environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stow your stuff<\/strong>: Be considerate; do not use multiple seats for bags.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t be rude, dude (Ride with Love)<\/strong>: Everyone deserves a safe and comfortable ride.
