FARES & PASSES
Stop Times
Getting On and Off
As the bus approaches, observe the destination sign and please have your exact fare or bus pass ready; drivers do not make change. Seat yourself safely and quickly towards the back allowing the front seats for senior citizens and people with disabilities. When you are near your stop, press the yellow strip (or pull cord) located along the windows to signal the driver. The strip will activate a chime, and the stop requested light will illuminate. Please do not stand until the driver has made a complete stop, then exit through the rear door. 

Things to remember
• Please don’t eat or drink on the bus. 
• You are welcome to listen to music with earbuds or headphones.
• Pets must be kept in a carrier unless it’s a service animal.

Transfers
Transfers switch you to a mainline route from an adjacent (feeder) route and vice-versa. Ask the driver for a transfer as you board the bus and pay your fare. The transfer is dated, timed and must be used within 90 minutes. As you board the transfer bus, show the driver your valid transfer to pay for the ride. 

Schedules are available on all buses, on our web site, and you may request one by mail by calling our office at (541) 883-2877.

TAKE YOUR BIKE ON THE BUS

Prepping Your Bike

Remove water bottles, pumps, and other loose items.

Loading Your Bike

You can load your bike from the curb or in front of the bus. Do not step into oncoming traffic to load your bike.
Use one hand to pull down the release and hold your bike with your other hand. Do not lean your bike against the bus.
Lift your bike onto the bike rack and fit wheels into the wheel slots. Each wheel slot is labeled for front and rear wheel.
Raise the support arm over the front tire. Your bike is now securely latched.

Unloading Your Bike

Inform the bus driver that you will be unloading your bike as you approach your stop. 
Use the front door to exit the bus. Unload your bike from the front of the bus or the curb, not from the street.
Raise the support arm off the tire. The support arm automatically folds down in a secure position.
Lift your bike out of the bike rack.
If there are no other bikes in the rack, fold up the bike rack against the front of the bus.
Step away from the bus with your bike.

Electric bikes with a sealed battery compartment are permitted.
Some bikes have wheels that are too large or too far apart to fit in the bike racks. Max Tire Width: 2.35”
