Bus stops are clearly marked with a sign, and busy stops also have timetable information at the stop. Please remember that buses may go to different destinations from the same stop, so always check the number on the front of the bus to ensure it’s the one you want.
When you see the correct bus approaching the stop, raise your arm in order to signal to the driver that you wish the bus to stop. Please make sure the driver has seen your signal and that the bus is stopping, i.e. that the indicators are flashing, before you lower your arm. If you do not signal clearly the driver may not realise that you want to travel on their bus and drive past. Remember that other people waiting at your stop may not want the same service as you, so don’t assume they’ll flag the bus down. As the bus stops, please allow any passengers who want to get off the bus to step out the door before you board. If you find it difficult to get on board the bus the driver can lower the bus for you, although at bus stops without a raised pavement you may still have to step up slightly to get onto the bus.
