Exiting the Vehicle
\r\n<\/strong>One block before your last stop, signal the driver to let you off by pushing the button located on the standee pole, next to the seats. If you are not familiar with the area, ask the driver to call out your streets as it approaches.<\/p>\r\nNOTE: If requested by any passenger, and in accordance with the ADA, drivers will announce major stops, transfer points with other fixed routes, other major intersections and destination points, and intervals along a route sufficient to permit individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities to be oriented to their location.<\/p>\r\n
At your stop, look around your area so you do not leave anything behind. Exit via the rear door whenever possible so as not to block the way for incoming passengers. For your safety, and that of others around you, hold onto the door handles until you clear the door. For persons with disabilities, all vehicles come equipped with wheelchair ramps and front-door kneeling devices which may be used upon request. For customers with bikes, please use the \u201cStop Request\u201d button with a bike icon to alert the driver that you need to unload your bike at the stop.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
