"il.'i ’,'Jt », : / 1 gJllwOY* 6 0 5 -’rto*! art; Getting on the bus gets a lot easier after September 5th. //you know how it’s done. The way to learn is to climb aboard one of our Bus Schtxil buses and walk through a simple ten-minute familiariza tion course. (See the schedule below.) Then, when you get off this big yellow bus, you'll know how to get on all our other buses. THREE DOORS. NO WAITING. Take our articulated buses. Please. With a new Ten-Ride Ticket or Monthly Pass, you’ll be able to board these beauties through any door. (The Ten-Ride Ticket you validate in the machine inside each d<x>r, the Pass you do nothing with except show it to a Fare In spector upon request.) In other words, only cash fares will have to enter up front on the “artics”. Think how that can speed up boarding and exiting. RE-ZONED ZONES. One caution though: Before you board, you need to know what zone you’re in and what zone(s) you’re heading tor. You guessed it, the zones are changing too. So longer rides will cost more and shorter rides will cost propor tionately less. Seems only fair. Anyway, before you know what kind of ticket or pass to buy, you’ll need to know how many zones you’ll be traveling through. Is the new zone system confus ing? A little. AI I All of which is another good reason to attend Bus School and let us explain things. WHY IN THE WORLD ARE WE DOING ALL THIS? Fair question. And the straight an swer is, efficiency. The many changes coming Septem ber 5th will allow us to do two things which usually don't go hand- in-hand. Imftrotv our service and reduce our costs. We’ll be able to move more people more efficiently, more conveniently. That ENI) I HE TEN-MINUTE BUS SCH(X)L NEAREST Y TUESDAY, APRIL 27 MAY I I Fred Meyer Beaverton 2.
