Buffalo
Area Transit System Rules
- Please
be pleasant and courteous to your fellow passengers and to the bus
driver. The drivers are doing their best to serve you. Please address
disagreements to management of the Senior Center.
- Seat
belts must be fastened before the bus driver starts the bus. This is
Federal Law. Please wait until bus comes to a complete stop before you
unfasten your seat belt. If you stand up from your seat before
the bus stops you might fall.
- NO smoking or other tobacco use or use of alcohol on the bus.
- Make reservations at least one day in advance when possible.
- Without at least two hours notice your service may be delayed.
- If you are transporting a pet to the veterinarian, it must be completely restrained.
- If
someone other than the bus driver gives you a ride home or you start
walking, please notify us. Otherwise the driver spends valuable
time looking for you.
- Sometimes
emergency situations arise at the Senior Center or we have a breakdown
in communications. Please call the Center if the bus is more than
twenty minutes late picking you up.
- The
Senior Center Bus is available to anyone regardless of age. We have
infant seats and child car seats available for use. Please call us
ahead if you need to use one of these seats, as required by law.
Remember, all buses are wheelchair equipped and have cell phones
for quick, efficient dispatching.
- Rides
are $1.00 one way in city limits of Buffalo and $2.00 one way up to
five miles out. A trip to Sheridan is $10.00. If you are unable to pay
for transportation, please make an appointment to speak to the
Director, as we may be able to provide financial assistance for
transportation.
- Our
drivers have the right to refuse service to anyone displaying
intoxication, using tobacco, using profanity, anyone posing a health
hazard, and any other form of offensive behavior.
- Please
check with the driver to initial before or after your ride. We have to
follow state guidelines, therefore we need to verify you received the
service.
