Riding the bus - things to remember

• Only collapsible wagons and strollers are allowed on buses. Wagons must be collapse on the bus as their wheels do not lock and can be a danger in a moving vehicle. You may be asked to hold your child and collapse the stroller depending on the fullness of the bus or number of strollers boarding. This too is for safety reasons.
• There is room for two bikes on the front of the bus. only bicycles that fit on the front of the bus will be carried to Borden Park. Bikes are not allowed inside the bus for safety reasons
• Scooters are permitted inside the bus as long as they are collapse and can be kept on your lap or inside the seat with you. If they are over size, the drive may decide they are not permitted aboard the bus.
