To make your ride more enjoyable please follow these courtesies:

• Have your pass, ticket, or exact change ready when boarding the bus.
• Please step out of the shelter as the bus approaches so you can be seen by the driver. 
• “Move on back” and keep the front seats free for seniors or those with less mobility. 
• Make room for everyone, 1 person = 1 seat.
• Keep the language appropriate for all ages. 
• Keep conversations respectful of others, including cell phone conversations, by not being loud. 
• For everyone’s comfort earphones are to be used when using any listening device (radio, MP3, I-Pods, etc.) 
• Please keep all large articles out of the aisle and have strollers or walkers folded or out of the aisle so others can pass safely. 
• Keep your ride clean and looking good by placing all garbage in the containers provided on the bus. 
• Keep your ride safe by not jumping, running, or throwing things on the bus or wearing skates (in-line, roller or ice). 
• For your safety please do not engage the operator in unnecessary conversation while the bus is in motion. 
• To avoid potential injury, please do not chase after the bus once it’s left the curb.
• For everyone’s safety, flammable and explosive materials are not allowed on buses.

Lethbridge Transit Bike & Bus Program

Lethbridge cyclists can enjoy the convenience of biking and bussing on all Lethbridge Transit routes. There's no cost to use the rack, you just pay your regular transit fare and enjoy the ride. Bike Racks are installed on all transit buses and can accommodate two bikes per bus. They are available on a first-come first serve basis.

Refer to Loading / Unloading instructions to make sure your bike is properly secured.

Travel Tips

• Load and unload your bike as quickly as possible.
• Lethbridge Transit is not responsible for lost, stolen or damages incurred or caused by or to bicycles.
• A bus operator may refuse a cyclist transportation due to unsafe conditions:
  • If a child seat or luggage carrier on a bike interferes with visibility.
  • If a bike won't fit on a rack.
  • While a majority of bicycles can be accommodated on the bike racks, some large or small bicycles may not fit.
• Always remember to remove your bike after you arrive at your destination - new Bike & Bus riders often forget.

Simple to Use

• A cyclist is responsible for properly securing their bike.
• Always load and unload your bike from the front or curbside of the bus.
• For safety reasons, a bus operator cannot leave the bus to assist you but will provide verbal instruction upon request.
• If in doubt, refer to the instruction decals conveniently located on the bicycle racks.

Loading

• Be Ready and Waiting before the bus arrives, ready your bike for loading by removing any loose items - water bottle, pump, lock, etc.
• Indicate to the operator you'll be loading your bike.
• If a rack is empty, hold your bike with one hand, squeeze rack handle to release latch, then lower.
• Lift bike onto rack, placing wheels into proper wheel slots.
• Raise support arm over front tire to secure bike.

Common Courtesy

• If someone wants to remove their bike let them do so before loading your bike.

Unloading

• Be Ready to Depart before reaching your destination, inform the operator that you will be unloading your bike.
• Use front door to exit bus.
• Raise support arm off tire.
• Lift bike from rack. (if rack is empty, fold up rack to lock position.)
• Step away from bus and signal to the operator you are clear from the bus.

Pets on Board

Pets are welcome on all Lethbridge Transit buses under the following guidelines:

• Only small fur-bearing and feathered pets contained in secure, clean, hand-held cages are permitted on the buses.
• The cage should be appropriate to the pet’s size. 
• Cages must be small enough to fit on the owner’s lap. 
• One hand-held cage per passenger. 
• Passengers must hold onto their cages at all times and are responsible for the safety of their pets. (If there is room on the bus, cages may be placed beside you on the floor but the cage should not block the aisle or restrict other passengers.) 
• Your transit operator may refuse a trip if your pet poses a health or safety risk, or if it misbehaves. 
• When the bus is busy there may not be room for your pet, call transit to find out which trips tend to be busy.

Certified assistance animals may continue to use public transit as before. Owners of assistance animals should be prepared to show the animal’s verification of training.
