2. Wait at a Designated Bus Stop.
3. Board the Bus. Wait for passengers to exit then make sure your getting on the right bus. If you are unsure just ask the driver. They will be happy to help you.
4. Pay your Fare. Drivers do not carry change, so you must have the correct amount. if you have a pass it must be shown to the driver each time you board.

6. Getting Off the Bus. Pull the signal cord or tell the driver about one block before the stop you want to get off, to give plenty of warning. Make sure to take all your belongings. Never walk in front of the bus; wait for it to leave the stop. Transfer tickets will be given out by the drivers when asked. They are for that day only and only at the transfer station.
If you live inside the Fixed Route area and have a barrier that would prevent you from making it to a bus stop, a deviation can be scheduled. To be eligible for a deviation please contact the office to have an application sent to you. The application has to be sent back to STAR and approved before a deviation can be scheduled.
Please be mindful of safety and consideration.
- Keep aisle free of feet or other objects.

- Only bring what you can carry on the bus in one trip. The driver will not wait for you to get off for another load of stuff.
- No food or drink.
