When possible, consolidate your belongings into a single bag or two. Make sure to bring headphones if you\u2019re planning to listen to tunes or enjoy a good audiobook onboard. If you have food or drink, keep it in the container until you deboard the bus.<\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"3\">\r\n\t<li><strong>Watch your step <\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Our buses are designed with safety as the top priority. You can help keep yourself and other riders safe and comfortable by keeping the aisle in front of you clear, and remain behind the yellow line while the bus is moving. If you\u2019re heading out on a shopping trip, you\u2019re welcome to bring a small cart as long as it does not exceed 18\u201d width x 18\u201d length x 30\u201d height. When boarding or deboarding, be aware of your surroundings, wait for the bus to make a complete stop and keep an eye out for potential tripping hazards.<\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"4\">\r\n\t<li><strong>Pack your patience <\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Public transit is an enjoyable, economical, and eco-friendly way to travel. Like any form of transportation, you will sometimes experience delays. Our team of bus operators, mechanics, security officers and support staff work around the clock to ensure Southern Nevada\u2019s transit system runs as efficiently and safely as possible. The operator of your bus is unable to control the biggest factors that contribute to delays, and fellow riders are \u2013 like you \u2013 trying to get to where they\u2019re going. Treat everyone on the bus with kindness and respect and you\u2019ll find it makes for a smoother ride!<\/p>\r\n<p>Wherever you\u2019re headed in the new year, transit can help you get there.
