General
information
C) Transfers
if you need to take more than
one bus to get to your destina
tion, you need something called a
transfer. Simply get on the bus,
pay your fare and ask the driver
for a transfer. When you get to
the second bus, give the transfer
to that driver. Transfers are free
and valid only for one way trips
or the next available bus. Trans
fers are not valid for layovers on
the same line or for return trips.
H) Park 'n' Ride
This service enables you to park
your car—or lock up your bike—
for free, and then ride the bus!
Park n' Ride sites are situated at
shopping centers, church lots and
other parking areas around the
metro area. For specific locations,
call us at 687-5555, or consult
symbols on pages 12 and 13.
I) Special Buses
These are regular route buses
which come equipped with wheel
chair lifts. With these new buses,
disabled people can wheel their
way onto the regular fixed-route
system! Routes with wheelchair
lifts are designated by special
symbols on the pocket schedules.
J) information Number
687-5555. if you want to travel to
someplace new, or you've mis
placed your pocket schedule, or
you've never taken the bus before
or—whatever—please give us a
call! And be ready to tell the
customer representative:
• where you are
• where you want to go
• when you want to get there
if you have a piece of paper and
pencil handy, you can jot down a
few notes as the representative
gives you alt the necessary details.
Customer representatives know a
lot of other things about the bus
too, such as fare information, lost
and found and snowy-day emer
gency detours.
Besides answering questions,
customer representatives also
field suggestions, make official
note of them and pass them on
to the LTD department your
comment concerns.
K) Outlying Areas
Timetables for these routes are
not included in this tabloid. They
can be obtained at the ltd
Customer Service Center, 7-Eleven
Stores® and other area outlets.
Route Numbers
and Names
LTD has also improved the system of
route numbers and names. Each
route now has only one number. For
example, under the old system, the
#11 THURSTON bus changed signs
halfway through the route to #53
VRC/K-MART This was often confus
ing for patrons who wanted only to
go to the Eugene Mall or downtown
Springfield.
With the new system, the outbound
sign will be changed to #11 EUGENE
MALL as the bus starts back to the
mall. Patrons need only remember
the number of their route(s).
The location at which the name of the
route changes to Eugene Mall is now
listed on all timetables, in addition,
the destination of the bus once it
arrives in the Eugene Mall is also listed
in the footnotes of each timetable.
Now you'll be able to know if you need
to transfer or can stay on the same
bus to reach your destination.
Outlying Area timetables are available at various area outlets.
