Tips for riding
Her are some helpful tips before you ride:
Boarding the Bus
Please board at the front door and exit through the rear door. Bikes can be mounted on the bike rack on the front of the bus. When the bus pulls up to the stop, you can pull the lever and lower the rack. Place your bike in the furthest available position and lock the tire. Let your driver know that you are retrieving your bike and exit through the front door.
Take Note of Bus and Route Numbers
It is a good habit to notice what your bus number is. The number of the bus is a large 4 digit number on the top right side of the interior of the bus and is also located in multiple areas around the exterior of the bus, including next to the head sign on the front of the bus. (This is different than the route number).
The head sign is the digital reader on the front of the bus; you will be able to see the Route number and the destination of the bus from the exterior of the bus. Once you board the bus, make contact with a Driver so they acknowledge you have boarded, even with a wave or hello. Be aware of your surroundings; you don’t want to miss your stop!
Report Suspicious Activity
If something doesn’t look right, let your coach operator know immediately. In the case of an emergency, please call 911. Remember: see something, say something.
Do Not Leave Items Unattended
Please keep your personal items with you at all times. Unattended bags or other items could cause unnecessary security alerts and delays. If you forget an item on Sun Tran, call Customer Service at (520) 792-9222 for Lost & Found as soon as you realize you’ve forgotten something. It won’t always be the same bus, so be sure to call right away.
Plan Ahead
Please be at your stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
For your safety
Your safety is our priority. Here is what we’re doing to help keep you safe while utilizing our services:
Safe Place
All Sun Tran buses and facilities are a Safe Place for our Tucson Youth. There is a sticker with the logo to identify the places that are a Safe Place for youth in crisis to go. Each Sun Tran bus is equipped with this sticker near the front door of the bus. Operators and Supervisors are trained on what to do for a youth in crisis. If you are in crisis and need help, please board the bus because it is a safe place and tell your driver you need help. The Driver will assist you right away.
No Child Left Behind Policy
During the school year, Sun Tran train transit drivers and deploys a “no child left behind” methodology. The methodology is designed to help assure parents/guardians that Sun Tran is committed to making sure their loved ones get to their destination safely.
Security Cameras
All transit vehicles and transit centers are monitored by video surveillance cameras. The presence of these cameras contributes to a safer environment for our passengers. Sun Tran vehicles are equipped with video and audio surveillance systems located in several places. These video and audio recordings are used for operator and passenger safety and security, training, investigations, and other business purposes.
Bus Locator System
Sun Tran installed the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system in 1999, a computer program that tracks every bus at all times. This adds to the safety of the passengers and decreases the response time in the event of an emergency.
American Guard Services
The American Guard Services security team routinely monitors Sun Tran’s transit centers and rides select buses to ensure your safety while on these properties.
If something doesn’t look right, let your coach operator know. In the case of an emergency, please call 911.
Please keep your personal items with you at all times. For Lost & Found, call Customer Service: (520) 792-9222.
