For the courtesy of all our passengers:
Safety
For your own comfort and safety, please remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop.
Strollers
When traveling on our public transit bus with a child and stroller there are some safety rules you should know. Please make sure you get a stroller that can be accomodated on St. Catharines Transit buses. SIZE OF THE STROLLER DOES MATTER. We recommend the size should be no more than (50.8 cm wide and 122 cm long) or (20 inches wide and 48 inches long). Larger strollers than specified may have difficulty maneurvering on and off the bus. It is recommended to travel outside peak periods. Brakes must be applied and St. Catharines Transit recommends the child be removed from the stroller. For the safety of all passengers the stroller MUST NOT block the aisles. The PRIORITY SEATING SEATS that fold up are for WHEELCHAIRS, SCOOTERS, and STROLLERS. Strollers must give priority to a wheelchair or scooter.
Sporting Gear/Bulky Packages
No skis, toboggans or bikes are permitted on the buses. Hockey equipment is allowed, provided it is kept clear of the aisles. Roller blades/in line skates cannot be worn on the bus. All parcels, knapsacks and other bulky items must be kept clear of the aisle and off the seats.
Pets
No pets (unless in small pet carrier) are permitted on the buses. Certified specialty dogs are permitted on the bus at all times.
No eating or drinking or smoking
No food or drink is permitted on the buses. Smoking is prohibited on all buses and in shelters in accordance with City by-laws.
Seniors/Passengers With Children
For your own safety, please take the first available seats when you board the bus. Courtesy seats are at the front of all buses for the elderly or individuals with disabilities.
Keep your bus tidy
Please help us to keep the seats clean. Allowing children to stand on the seats not only makes them dirty, but is also very unsafe. Any articles that you bring with you on the bus, must be taken with you, ie: newspapers, wrappers, tissues, umbrellas, etc.
Thank you for your cooperation.
