New Bus Stop Signage Keeps You In the Know, On the Go
Use your bus stop's ID# and your cell phone to get schedule information for that stop. New signage at your bus stop tells you how. You might be thinking, what if you don't have a phone? No worries. Capital Metro will continue to provide free route brochures and system maps onboard the bus. And of course, don't forget Destinations, the official Capital Metro schedule book. Buy it at the Transit Store for $3.
1 - TOBACCOTo promote a healthier environment for everyone waiting at a bus stop, Capital Metro is encouraging riders to observe the sign and step away from the bus stop before using tobacco products. Capital Metro supports a tobacco-free workplace and facilities. Learn more about our tobacco policy.
