Get off in the back of the bus, especially if other folks are boarding, as they can only pay at the front. Exceptions are if you’re super close to the front and no one is boarding.

When a bus arrives, peer into the window and confirm no one is getting off before you start boarding.

if you choose to sit in a handicap spot on a bus or one of the seats near the door on the metro, be aware and prepared to cede your seat to someone older or someone with a cart or a lot of bags. You don’t need to ask if they want it, get up and nod to them. They can take it or not.

The term Metro is reserved for the train. theres no special term for taking the bus so your guide is a public transit guide :)
