Night Stop Service for Safety and Convenience
Between 8 pm and 5 am, you may request the driver to exit the bus at any point along the route, even if it is not a bus stop. Ask your driver at least a block before your stop. The driver will decide whether your stop can be made safely. Drivers can only pick you up at bus stops.
