Tips for riding OC Bus during COVID-19
- Wearing a face mask is now a federal requirement on all public transit.
- You must wear a face mask when waiting for or riding any public transit vehicle. Face masks can help slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health of other passengers and drivers.
- Please place your face mask over your nose and mouth. It should fit snugly against the sides of your face. By wearing your face mask properly, you can help keep everyone safe.
- Boarding limitations have been removed.
- According to state and local guidelines, social distancing is no longer required. As a result, boarding limitations have been removed and passengers should experience fewer pass-by situations. It's still a good idea to check to see if your bus has seats available by using the Transit App. This free digital mobile app will let you view the seating capacity of the buses on your route. Once you have the Transit App installed:
- Tap on a route for the "route detail view"
- Next, tap on the bus icon itself
- Please plan ahead before you ride.
- All adjusted routes and schedules can be found in our revised ebusbook at OCbus.com/ebusbook.
