Lowering of Buses

New buses are lowered year round.  When temperatures reach -5 degrees Celsius, lowering older model buses can cause a failure in the air system, and is generally avoided. Exceptions for customers with mobility challenges can be made at the Supervisor’s discretion.

Snow and Bus Stops

Bus stops with shelters are all cleared of snow within 48 hours after the end of snow accumulation. Bus stops without shelters are only cleared of snow in high traffic areas or to alleviate safety concerns. When bus stops are not clear of snow, the bus will stop and pick up the waiting public in the nearest cleared driveway.
