How To Ride:
Bus stops are identified with a blue sign. The routes serving the stop will be listed on the sign. For the safety of our passengers, GCT buses only stop at designated bus stops.
Arrive at your bus stop at least 5 minutes early. Stand near the sign, bench or bus shelter so that the driver can see you. The driver may not know to stop if you are not clearly visible.
The bus route number and destination is displayed on a headsign above the windshield. Before boarding the bus, make sure it is the bus you wish to take. If you are unsure, ask the bus operator to assist you.
Have your bus fare, pass or transfer ready when boarding. All passengers are required to present acceptable proof of eligibility to use a discount fare, so have your identification ready. If you are unsure of where to get off the bus, ask your bus operator to call out the desired stop as the bus approaches it. If your trip requires the use of more than one bus to reach your destination, ask the driver for a free limited-time transfer slip when you pay your fare. Transfers are not valid for a round trip.

Passengers using a monthly pass or day pass do not need a transfer slip:
Upon boarding the bus and paying your fare, move promptly to a vacant seat. Please note that seniors and persons with disabilities have priority for the seats directly behind the driver. If there are no seats available, move towards the rear of the bus and please hold on to the grab rails.

Getting off the Bus:
About a block before your stop, pull the stop request cord or push the touch strip to signal the driver that you want to get off at the next stop. Please be sure the driver has enough time to make a safe stop. If you are unsure about where to get off, ask the driver for assistance when you board the bus. Please try to exit from the rear door.
Push the touch bar gently and the doors will open. Hold the door handle as you exit the bus. Some buses have a yellow touch strip located on the back door – on these buses touch the yellow strip to activate the doors. After you exit, stand to the side of the road or on the sidewalk until the bus has pulled away. For your safety, do not cross in front of the bus and obey all traffic signals.
