Passenger Courtesies
And because transit brings together a lot of people in a small space we ask all of our customers to follow these recommended courtesies:
• don't reserve places by putting items on seats
• respect the privacy of other passengers
• keep your cell phone on vibrate and speak in a low voice
• speak in conversational tones with your seatmates and other riders
We appreciate your help and thank you for riding.
