DTA Rider Conduct and Tips

For your Safety...

DTA buses are public property, so please help us take care of them.

It's Against the Law. (Federal, State and Local Laws prohibit the following activities while on this bus...

• Tobacco use, eating, or drinking, are not allowed on the bus.
• Please take your trash with you. Do not litter the floor or leave trash on the seat.
• Upon boarding the bus, please be seated as soon as possible.
• Once you have requested a stop, please remain seated until the bus completely stops.
• After getting off the bus, please refrain from walking too close to the side of the bus.
• When boarding or getting off the bus in wintry weather, please be careful on the steps. They may be icy or slick.
• Please refrain from talking to the bus operator while the bus is moving. Passenger safety is the driver's main concern.
• Loud radio playing is not allowed on the bus. While you are welcome to use earphones, keep in mind that "too loud" is when other passengers can hear your music.
• On bad weather days, help us accommodate more passengers by moving to the rear of the bus.
• Never stand beyond the yellow line in the front of the bus. This is distracting and limits driver's field of vision.
• Animals, other than service animals, are not permitted on the bus unless they are in an approved animal transfer cage.
• If you board the bus with a stroller, make sure it's folded and out of the aisle.
• Please take time to report anything unusual or unsatisfactory to your driver.
• The DTA's Policy for Profanity on DTA buses or transit facilities is ZERO TOLERANCY. If you use profanity or wear clothing with profanity displayed you will be directed to leave. If you refuse, you will be in violation of Minnesota state Law 609.855 - Crimes against transit providers and operators subdivision 2.6 and will be subject to arrest and prosecution.
