PUBLIC TRANSIT SAFETY
Public transit is convenient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Each bus may be equipped with a video observation system. It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure a safe trip by observing the following safety tips. Passengers can assist in this by being alert and responding to the drivers instructions.
GENERAL SAFETY
