How to take the bus
- Buses can be recognized by the color Yellow
- On the day of travel, one hour before departure, you receive a text message with the arrival time slot at your stop
- Another text message notifies you when the bus has arrived. The bus always waits about two minutes from the scheduled time, even when it arrives early. For example, if the scheduled departure time is 12, it will always leave at 12.02 even if it arrived early.
We suggest you to be at the stop a few minutes in advance. If your plans change, please cancel the ride from the app or by dialing 02 4803 4803: you will help us reschedule the service for the other passengers on the ride.
