Useful safety tips for Stagecoach customers:

• Watch your step: be careful when getting on or off the bus.
• Wait until the bus stops completely before standing up.
• Hold on when the bus is moving.
• Mind the gap: be careful of the space between the bus and the pavement. Take small steps and watch out to avoid tripping.
• Be careful in bad weather: on rainy or snowy days, be extra careful. Hold onto the rails, take small steps, and be extra cautious to avoid slipping.
• Ask for help: if you need help, speak to the driver. We’re here to make sure you stay safe during your journey.
