Road Rules

Where to buy your bus pass. Tips on how to make the ride better for us all.

Getting On the Bus

• TARTA passes and tokens are available at most area banks and at TARTA offices.
• TARTA schedules and transit guides are available at all public libraries and at TARTA offices.
• Please have your exact fare ready before boarding. A friendly reminder – any attempt to ride without paying is a punishable crime.
• When the bus stops, allow passengers on the bus to exit first.
• No passenger stops are made in construction zones.

Riding the Bus

(for Passenger Code of Conduct, please click here.)

• Please allow seniors and persons with disabilities to use the seats designated for them. It’s the decent thing to do, and it’s the law.
• No smoking, eating or drinking on any TARTA vehicle or in any TARTA station. Again, it’s the law.
• Bringing your own music? Don’t forget your headphones. If we can hear you, you’re too loud.
• Hey, we run a first-class operation. No shoes, no shirt, no service!
• Illegal or unlawfully-possessed weapons and/or firearms are prohibited on or in any TARTA vehicle or property.

Getting Off the Bus

• Wait for the bus to stop before standing.
• When possible, exit by the back doors. This allows passengers to board quickly.
• Need to cross the street? Wait until the bus leaves, so you have a clear field of vision.
• No passenger stops are made in construction zones.

Now you’re ready to ride.
