When boarding and disembarking
Things to think about before you get on and off the bus.
For an easier and safer journey, there are a few things you can keep in mind before getting on and off the bus at the stop.
Show that you want to go along
Show the driver clearly that you want to go along, even if you are at a stop where few lines stop. Step forward from the bus shelter or bus stop post and wave, shine your mobile phone or make a clear sign with your hand. If you have impaired vision, stand as close to the bus stop post as possible.
If it is dark outside at the stop
If it is dark outside, use reflectors and preferably the flashlight on your mobile or the reflector spinner that is available at many of our stops to draw the driver's attention.
Bus signal at the stop
To avoid unnecessary bus stops, there is a bus signal system at some stops in the county.
How the bus signal works

No smoking
It is forbidden to smoke in and near the weather shelters or bus stop posts at the bus stops.
Boarding and disembarking
Allow travelers to get off the bus before boarding yourself. Board the bus at the front entrance. If you have difficulty getting on board, alert the driver and the driver will help you. Preferably get off the bus at the back exit.
