Common courtesy never goes out of style.

In today's world of eco-friendly travel, public transit is becoming a popular commuter option. It’s cost effective and convenient – but what about the experience on board?

Over the years, Metro Transit has heard of ‘bus buddies’ who meet on board our buses and ferries, and stories of chivalry, kindness, and even lifesaving encounters. Our customers want a safe, comfortable, and pleasant ride from point A to B; how can we work together to make sure this happens?

We can Share the Ride.

The Share the Ride campaign is intended to remind customers to exhibit good passenger etiquette on board our buses and ferries by highlighting key behaviours in a humourous way that may keep all passengers from enjoying their journey. Together, let's:

• Share the seats and space
• Be mindful of others around you
• Be courteous and respectful

By engaging in proper behaviour while onboard Metro Transit, we will all experience a better commute.

Share the Ride, not your Favourite Musk

Please remember that some people are scent sensitive. Many people suffer from allergies to scented products so avoid wearing strongly scented perfumes on board our buses and ferries.

Share the Ride, not your Baggage

Please keep the seats next to you free for other passengers. Ensure you take up only one seat; bags should be placed on your lap or stowed under your seat. Also, be aware of the designated courtesy seating intended for the elderly, mobility-impaired, pregnant women, and children. 

We want to hear your stories about passengers sharing the ride. Send us your story about good passenger etiquette on board our buses or ferries and have your name entered in a draw to win a FREE 1 month MetroPass*!
