How To Ride A bus
Figure out how to get where you are going. Contact your local bus or transit system and get help from a "route planner" or buy a map book. Make sure your map book is current. But remember, schedules can change on very short notice or as a consequence of things the driver can't control, like really bad traffic. Most systems also have on-line informational resources. This way you will know the bus schedules and fares. Plan your trip so that you will arrive at least 30 minutes before you need to be somewhere (like school, work or a job interview).
Wait at a bus stop. Make sure you know what your city's bus stops look like.
When you see the bus coming, get your fare or pass out. This saves time!
When you get on say "Hello" after you give the driver your money. It's nice and it makes a person's day.
To get off pull the yellow cord, usually located near the top of the window.
In the United Kingdom, there are stop buttons located on standing poles, press the button once and a ting or low tone sound will be heard by the driver with a moniter which will light up which will say 'Stopping' when a stop button is pressed. Use these when you want to get off the bus.
When the bus stops go to the back door (depending on which bus you use). Follow the instructions that you find there and the driver will open the door.
Before you get off, make sure to say "Thank you" to the driver.
