Baggage, luggage and other large packages are allowed on the bus, but should be kept out of aisle ways and off other seats.

Routes 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75 can accommodate two bicycles on the front of the bus. Passengers are responsible for their own bicycles, including loading and unloading bicycles.

Priority seating is available on all Niagara Region Transit buses.
These seats, found near the front of the bus, are reserved for passengers who are disabled or have a physical limitation requiring priority seating.
Passengers are reminded to offer these seats to individuals in need of priority seating.
Learn more about accessibility on transit.
Seating
During peak hours, Niagara Region Transit can be over passenger capacity, which may result in not all passengers having a seat.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee each passenger a seat. Seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
As a courtesy, we ask passengers to give up their seat for a customer with mobility difficulties or expectant mothers.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed on any Niagara Region Transit buses or in any shelter.
Stops along the Route
Passengers can only board and depart the bus at designated stops along the route. Bus drivers are unable pick-up/drop-off passengers in between stops.
Strollers
Strollers are acceptable on Niagara Region Transit buses.
If there are no wheelchairs on the bus, strollers can be strapped into the area designated for wheelchairs.
If wheelchairs are occupying the accessible area, strollers need to be folded upon entering a Niagara Region Transit bus.
