Help us keep the buses clean!
Harbor Transit works hard to provide a comfortable, clean riding experience for every passenger. You can help us maintain clean buses by demonstrating good housekeeping practices and disposing of any and all trash that may have accumulated during your trip as you exit the bus. Every bus has designated trash cans — please use them.
If it’s unwanted, it’s harassment.
Whether the harassment is based on race, gender, or religious affiliation, Harbor Transit does not tolerate it. Any unwanted or persistent attention that is physical, violent, or threatening in nature is strictly prohibited.
Harbor Transit reserves the right to deny service or to have a passenger removed from the bus, or Harbor Transit property, for displaying poor conduct or violating system rules.
Accommodations with respect to the Rules of Courtesy and Personal Conduct will be provided as required by federal, state, and local disability laws and ordinances.
