Transit

Yellowknife Transit Etiquette

Please refer to Public Transit By-law No. 4284, as amended.

• Entering/Exiting the Bus
  • Passengers are asked to enter through the front doors and exit through the rear doors.
• Fares
  • Please have your fare ready when you board the bus. When paying cash, please have exact change as bus drivers do not carry change.
  • Monthly passes and ticket sheets offer discounts for everyone, and can be purchased at various locations around the City.
• Courtesy Seating
• The seats at the front of the bus are reserved for people with disabilities or injuries, seniors and expectant mothers.
• Anyone seated in this area should willingly give up their seat when a passenger requiring courtesy seating boards the bus.
• Move to the Back
  • Once you have boarded the bus please move to the back. This will allow more room for people who are boarding.
• Strollers
  • Strollers should be folded before boarding the bus.
• Personal Belongings
  • Please ensure that all of your belongings are placed on your lap or at your feet. This will leave aisles clear for easier movement of passengers.
  • Backpacks should be taken off and carried to avoid hitting other passengers when moving through the bus.
• Food & Drinks
  • Consumption of any food or drinks while on Yellowknife Transit is prohibited (as indicated by signage).
• Trash on the Bus
  • All buses are equipped with garbage cans for your use. Please place any trash in these bins to help keep Yellowknife Transit vehicles clean.
• Unsuitable Language
  • The use of profanity on Yellowknife Transit is unacceptable. Please remember you are sharing your ride with many other people – respect others by keeping your language clean.
• Graffiti
  • Yellowknife Transit works hard to provide you with clean vehicles for your ride; thousands of dollars are spent each year to clean up graffiti.
  • Please keep Yellowknife Transit vehicles graffiti free.
• Loud Noises
  • Personal listening devices are welcome on Yellowknife Transit, with headphones.
  • Please listen to them at a reasonable volume as the people seated around you may not enjoy the same music as you.
