Bus Class

C-TRAN’s new Bus Class is a hands-on training curriculum that helps middle school students become familiar with the basics of using public transportation. C-TRAN staff comes directly to the classroom and guides students towards becoming conscientious and safe bus riders.

Bus Class is a step-by-step process that provides interaction with a bus driver, a Passenger Service Representative, and practical experience on a C-TRAN bus.

Key components:

How to read and understand transit maps and schedules;
How to identify familiar points of interest;
How to board a bus, pay and exit a bus safely;
Essential dos & don’ts when riding a bus; and
SafeWatch—how it works and who participates.

Bus Class Scheduling

Class size is limited to 30 students per visit;
Primary focus is middle school students;

The future of public transportation, and other alternatives to the auto, greatly depends on the habits and attitudes that young people form today. C-TRAN is working hard to develop future passengers, one classroom at a time.
