We are all part of Team Cherriots

Public transportation takes teamwork, from our staff and from you, our riders. Working together as a team helps ensure we can provide efficient, safe, and enjoyable transportation for everyone.

It takes teamwork to be on time
Ways to help improve efficiency and keep buses on time

Ready to ride?
Please have your fare or pass ready and your belongings gathered before the bus arrives.

Don’t hide from us!
Please make yourself visible to the driver and make it clear if you want the bus.

Go with the flow!
Please keep the aisle clear and exit through the rear door when possible.

Save the seat!
Please keep priority seating open for seniors and people with disabilities.

Can it wait?
Please wait until the bus is stopped to ask the driver questions so they can focus on driving.

Don’t play games!
Pulling the cord just for fun will delay the bus and everyone else on it. Pull the cord only for the stop you want and make sure you give the driver enough time to stop once you pull it.

It takes teamwork to stay safe
Ways to stay safe on the bus and at transit centers

Walk this way!
Please use crosswalks at the transit centers and on the streets.

Let us know before you go!
Please alert the driver that you are getting your bike and exit through the front door.

Get a grip!
Please hold on when no seats are available.

Let it go!
Please don’t chase after, run alongside, or attempt to stop a bus once it leaves a stop.

Be seen, be safe!
Please wear reflective clothing and use lights to be seen in the dark.

Think before you cross!
Traffic does not stop for Cherriots buses. Never walk in front of the bus to cross the street and always use crosswalks when possible.

Give us space!
Stand away from the edge of the street so that the bus can safely approach the stop and wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before stepping toward the door.

This is no playground!
The poles on the bus are not for pull ups, hanging, swinging, or climbing. If no seats are available, you may stand while the bus is moving and use them to hold on to for safety only.

It takes teamwork to enjoy the ride
Ways to be courteous and ensure everyone enjoys the ride

Respect the ride!
Please be courteous to your fellow riders and use appropriate language.

Keep it clean!
Eating is prohibited on the bus and drinks must be in hard-sided, spill-proof containers.

Share the air!
Smoking and vaping are prohibited on the buses and on Cherriots property.

Keep ‘em contained!
Animals must be in an approved pet carrier unless they are service animals.

Sound goes around!
Earbuds or headphones must be used with electronic devices.

Hold up! 
Wait your turn and respect other riders’ space by letting them finish paying at the farebox before you board the bus.
