GENERAL
INFORMATION
BUS STOPS
Bus stop signs are placed
approximately every two
blocks within Eugene/
Springfield. Please wait at
these locations to catch the
bus. On outlying area
routes, wait at a safe
location where the bus can
pull in and out easily, and
signal the bus by raising
your hand as it approaches.
On these routes, on dark,
foggy mornings, you might
use a flashlight to signal the
driver.
Before you board, allow passengers to exit and let
people in wheelchairs board first. Then, as you
enter, deposit your fare in the coin box or show
your monthly pass or transfer to the driver.
To let the driver know that you want to get off at
the next stop, pull the signal cord. Signal cords
run along either side of the bus by the passenger
windows. Pull the cord one block from your stop.
Then make your way to either door after the bus
comes to a complete halt.
Most popular bus stops have benches and shelters
for your comfort and convenience.
