How should passengers signal when they want the bus to stop?

Passengers should signal for the bus to stop by pulling the stop request cord or pressing the stop button. This method is designed to clearly communicate to the driver their intention to get off at the next stop. The stop request cord runs along the interior of the bus and is easily accessible, allowing passengers to indicate their need to stop without obstructing or distracting the driver.

Using the stop request cord or button is a standardized practice that helps ensure safety and efficiency during bus operation. It allows the driver to be alerted without having to hear loud vocal commands or see physical gestures, which may be less obvious in a moving vehicle or crowded environment. This system is in place to facilitate communication in a manner that is consistent and reliable for both the passengers and the bus operators.
