Catching the bus is easy, but there are a few things you can do to make sure your driver sees you and stops safely.

• Arrive Early: Be at your stop at least 5–10 minutes before the scheduled arrival.
• Stand in a Visible Spot: Avoid standing behind poles, trees, or parked cars so the driver can see you clearly.
• Face the Street: Position yourself so the driver can spot you as they approach.
• Signal Clearly: Raise your hand or wave as the bus comes near.
• Stay Alert: Keep an eye on the approaching bus and avoid distractions like headphones or your phone.
• Step Forward Safely: Move closer to the curb as the bus arrives but always stay well behind the edge of the curb until the bus slows down. 
• Make Eye Contact (if possible): This ensures the driver sees you and is ready to stop.
• Be Visible at Night: If you’re wearing dark clothing, use the flashlight on your cell phone to make yourself more visible.

Following these tips helps ensure a safe, smooth pickup every time you Ride The S!
