Riding DART public transit means sharing the ride. It is important for riders to treat each other with courtesy and respect. Getting There with DART can be a pleasant, safe, and comfortable experience when all riders have consideration for each other.

• Seats are for customers - no feet or belongings/packages on seats when the bus is full
• Be considerate of the special seats marked for riders with disabilities and seniors, and offer seats to parents with children
• Allow customers in wheelchairs to board first
• When standing, do not block doors and do not stand in front; move to the rear; use the rear door to exit
• When talking to others, please no loud or abusive language
• Practice cell phone courtesy by setting ring tones to vibrate, using an inside voice and avoiding loud two-way talk; no use of speakerphones
• Use earphones or headphones for your listening pleasure; set on low
• Your safety and comfort are important. Listen to requests from the bus driver or other DART staff
• No smoking on vehicles or at train stations
• No food or drink on vehicles
• Dispose of trash and recyclables properly especially at bus stops and bus shelters
• Fold strollers (except wheelchair strollers) and carts before the vehicle arrives

It is YOUR transit system. Together we can help make passenger etiquette a daily habit that is appreciated by all DART riders.
