Tips for riding the bus

Get to your stop 5-10 minutes early and wait where the driver can see you.
As the bus approaches, check the sign above the front window to make sure it’s the route and destination you want.
Signal to the driver that you wish to board by waving your hand. If it’s dark outside, use the screen of your cell phone to be seen.
Currently, CET’s services are operating fare free to reduce interactions between passengers and drivers, but typically you would purchase a ticket or use other payment options.
Take your seat and if there is a seat belt —buckle up!
About a block before you want to get off, pull the stop chime cord above your head to request the next stop.
