The City Commute
Learn how to read the schedule and pay your fare.
When you arrive at the bus station, the first thing you should check is the timetable to see when your bus arrives. Each bus follows a specific route marked by a number. You wait for your bus at a designated platform or bay.
When the bus arrives, let the passengers get off first before you step on board. You will need to pay the fare to the driver or scan your smart card on the machine. If you are travelling many times, a day pass is often cheaper than a single ticket.
During the journey, listen for the announcements telling you the next stop. If you want to get off, you should press the bell to alert the driver. Make sure you have all your belongings before you reach your destination.
