You didn't ask about this - but your commute will be vastly enhanced if you download the OneBusAway and MARTA On the Go apps. Welcome! I much prefer the bus to the train. Totally new to this and I would love some sincerely meant guidance as this is a sincerely meant question. All the standard stuff: Help people if they drop something smile at children don't pet service animals (they're working).

Most people thank the driver as they exit.

(Don't think your gear is more important than human beings who need a seat.) (Don't make it hard for people to get to the seat you're not using.)

If you see people waiting to board at your stop, exit through the rear door.

(Disregard, of course, if you are elderly and/or disabled.) Don't wait for them to ask for your seat.

If you sit in the front, move or stand up if you see anyone boarding that you even think might be elderly or disabled.

Regardless of whether you took additional action to help your visibility, if the bus driver fails to notice you, file a report with Provide them the bus number (if you are able to notice it), the route, the stop location, and the time of day. I keep a MARTA logo in my Dropbox account, which I can access from my phone, for this purpose.īut ultimately, if you are standing at the bus stop, it is the driver's responsibility to see you and to stop. If you ride at night, you may even like to wave a light to help the driver notice you. There's no need to get crazy about it though - just raise your hand like you would to ask a question in class.

This isn't required (and some drivers will stress that it isn't necessary), but I've found it helpful. Should I wave at the bus to ask it to stop at my bus stop? If you can't get the door open, shout "rear door" so the driver won't proceed without letting you out. If you exit through the rear door, you just have to touch the yellow strip to make the door open. You can confirm whether someone has already requested a stop, as the matrix board above the bus entry will say "Stop Requested".

If you haven't done this in a while, note that you'll only hear the "ding" once per stop (so don't worry if you pull it and don't hear anything). The buses will stop automatically at train stations - but for all other stops you need to pull the cord or push the stop button by the rear door. If possible, top up at a MARTA station (which updates the balance instantly) or online (which may take a day or so to be recognized on all buses).ĭo I just pull a string/press a button to signal the bus to stop (a la my old school bus days)?Įxactly. This is best avoided, though, as it's time-consuming and irritating.

Tap a third time to debit those funds from your Breeze card for the ride (and, of course, to establish your eligibility for free transfers).

Tap again to put those funds on your Breeze card.

Tap to attempt to use the card (even if you know it lacks funds).

The driver will walk you through the process, which I think is as follows: It's best to keep your Breeze card topped up, but if you're short, you can reload it as you enter the bus.

I'm assuming I need my breeze card capped up, but what if I'm short? Can I use cash?
