HIGHTLY

On September 6, 1993, BC Transit will begin a six- “month Request Stop trial on ail Lower Mainland
routes, except for Express and limited stop sections. Request Stop allows you to get off the bus
along the route when travelling at night, so that you have a shorter, safer walk to your destination.

Here is how Request Stop works:

e Ask your driver for a “Request Stop” at least one bus stop before the location at which you wish

to get off the bus.

¢ Your driver will find the safest spot near your location.
* Once the bus has come toa stop, you must leave via the front doors. Please look out for bicycles

which may pass the bus on the right-hand side.

NOTE: Passengers using the wheelchair tift must leave the bus at accessible stops only, due to’
equipment requirements. Please remember that your driver is a trained professional-and in the
interest of passenger and vehicle safety, may be unable to stop as requested. All stops are granted

at the discretion of the individual driver.
