Be at your stop 5 minutes early to ensure you don’t miss your bus.
Our General Access services are generally hail and ride, so remember to pop your arm up to signal the driver. Beware of services that operate in the dark or in severe weather conditions as visibility is limited so please take extra care to ensure you are clearly visible.
