Here are some tips and suggestions when you plan to board a public bus:

If it’s your first time to board public transportation, you may want to do some research first. Find out the bus and train lines. You may call your city’s Transportation Department, or you can visit their website. You can obtain a map or download it.

If you are eligible for senior citizen or disablity discounts, or any other discount, you can also look for information about it.

If you are planning to use public transportation fairly often, why not get a weekly or monthly pass? And don’t forget to keep records of your boarding. These might qualify for tax breaks.
