Transit FAQ

  1. What am I in for if I want to use the bus? When viewing your match page, note the routes and times at the transit stops. You'll be expected to be at the transit stop before the bus or train's scheduled arrival, and have your exact fare ready.
  2. Can I use Emergency Ride Home if I ride transit? No, only Vanpool participants are eligible for the Emergency Ride Home benefit.
  3. Riding after dark. Be sure you are wearing light colored clothing and/or signaling the driver with a lighted device, such as a cell phone or a flash light.
  4. Am I eligible for a free or reduced fare? Free or discounted passes for buses might be available in your neighborhood by reason of age, youth, student status, or disability, etc. More information is available at www.mmtransit.com.
  5. Make sure you catch your bus going in the right direction. Don't just go by the route number. At some subway or train stations that are part way along a route, buses may use the same bay for both directions of travel so if you just go by the route number you may end up on a bus taking you farther away from your destination. If you're not sure, ask the driver before you board and pay your fare.
  6. Getting off at the right stop. If you need to get off before the last stop, then pull a hanging cord or press a button to indicate to the driver that you want the bus to stop. Pull the cord or push the stop button when you're about a block from where you need to get off of the bus.
  7. Take it all with you. Before you get off, make sure you have all of your belongings with you.
