I'm new to travelling by bus, do you have any tips?

It's super easy to travel by bus - but we know that if you've never hopped on board before, your first time travelling with us can be a bit daunting.  

We've put together a quick guide to tell you what to expect.

Before you're travelling, make sure you know which bus you need to catch, where your closest bus stop is & what time your bus is due to arrive there. If you're planning on getting the bus home too, you'll want to check for return journeys too so you don't miss your last bus! Don't worry, we've got a really easy way of doing this: simply download the East Yorkshire Buses app, or use our Journey Planner. 

Head out to the bus stop, all of which are clearly marked with a sign on the top. Remember, multiple buses that go to different destinations may use the same stop, so always make sure you check the number on the front of the bus to make sure it's the one you're after! Make sure you get there with about 5-10 minutes to spare so that you don't miss it - or use our Live Tracker to see where your bus is in real time.

When your bus is coming, raise your arm to the side to let the driver know that you want to get on board, and make sure that the driver has seen your signal (i.e. the indicators are flashing), before you lower your arm. Remember, other people waiting at the same stop as you may not be waiting for the same service, so it's always better to signal yourself. Once it's there, let any passengers who want to get off the bus step off before you board. If you find it difficult to get onto the bus, the driver can lower the bus for you - however, at bus stops without a raised pavement, you may still have to step up to get on.

Now that you're on board.. Just show a valid NHS Foundation Trust and Facilities Management pass when boarding and state where you are travelling to/from for work purposes.

Take a seat, and enjoy the journey! That's it - you've done it, now it's time to sit back and relax whilst we get you to where you need to be. Make sure you press one of the many 'STOP' buttons on board to let the driver know where you want to get off - unless someone has already done it before you. The bus will stop at a bus stop, the driver will open the doors & you're ready to go and enjoy the rest of your day!
