Top 6 Tips for New Transit Riders
-
No one likes guessing when the bus or train will arrive. Check the schedule online, or download the OneBusAway App to look up real-time and scheduled arrivals.
-
Arrive a few minutes early to your stop or station.
-
When waiting for the bus, stand near the bus stop signage and signal as the vehicle approaches.
-
Paying in cash or coins can delay the bus. Help make the trip faster for everyone and pre-load cash fare onto a Breeze Card.
-
Transit staff are your friends and can help answer your questions. Let a bus driver know if you’re unfamiliar with where to get off, or ask a rail station agent if you’re unfamiliar with the system.
-
Take advantage of your new found productivity time on transit: bring a book, listen to a podcast, or catch-up on emails.
