PEOPLE WHO DON’T ATTEND
BUS SCHOOL M V HONK OUR
SEPT. 5 ENTRANCE EXAM.
"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

that, in the long run, will allow us to kee
fare increases to a minimum.
Will it all work, you ask? It has for I
years throughout Europe. Now, thanks t<
a federal grant. Portland is the first city ii
America to install such a program.
As long as everyone takes a few
minutes to learn the new ropes, it can’t fa
YOU’RE GONNA LIKE
WHAT YOU LEARN.
So come attend Bus School and gel
your B.S. Degree. Not only will you lean
whk'h doers to use. but how many zones
you travel, what tickets make the most
sense for you. how to use the Self-Servict
equipment, where our new Eastside
m utes are, and more. All in ten painless
minutes.
Don’t play hooky. This little course
in busology may open up a lot of doors to
you.
