Where To Board The Bus
MTA buses stop to pick up and let off passengers at designated bus stop locations. Bus stop signs are located at most primary route bus stop locations. You may also board the bus at the MTA’s Customer Service Center, centrally located in downtown Flint.
How To Identify Your Bus
Every bus is identified with a route name and number which can be seen over the windshield. The route names and numbers are the same as the routes shown in this guide.
How To Board The Bus
- Wait at a bus stop sign. It’s a good idea to arrive a few minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time.
- As the bus approaches, look for the route name and number above the windshield. On some streets more than one route may be running,so be sure you board the bus that you want.
- Wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, then board at the front of the bus.
- Have your bus pass or exact fare ready when you board the bus. The fare box will accept coins or bills.
- If you need to transfer to another bus to complete your trip, ask the bus operator for a transfer when you board the bus.
How To Get Off The Bus
- The large transit coaches have signal strips mounted on the wall. As the bus nears your destination, about one block away, push the strip that is along side of your seat. A buzzer will signal the operator that you want to get off.
- When the bus comes to a complete stop along a route, you may exit. If you are on a large transit bus, exit through the rear door. Exit a small transit bus through the front door. If you will be crossing the street, wait for the bus to leave. Watch for traffic before going on.
City buses are equipped with bike racks
