More Information

Riding Foothill Transit is easier than you think! Here are some tips for your ride.

  1. Use Google Transit or the Trip Planner at the top of our website to find out what bus line you need and where your nearest bus stop is located — then check NEXTRIP for real-time updates that show exactly when your bus will arrive.
  2. Go to your bus stop — it’ll be marked with a large sign in Foothill Transit blue and green.
  3. Make sure you board the right bus — when a bus pulls up to the stop, look at its line number and destination on the sign above the windshield.
  4. Pay your fare — just hold your Class Pass close to the “TAP” symbol right on the farebox and listen for the beep.
  5. Move as far to the back as you can, and find a seat or hold onto the handrail — please leave seats at the front open for elderly and disabled passengers.
  6. Request a stop — when the bus approaches your stop, pull the cord or press the tape running along the windows, then exit through the doors in the back!
