Public transportation is just that, it’s public. Which means it’s for everyone and we all need to be on our best behavior to make it work and to keep everyone feeling safe and happy. That includes when your feelings get upset by the actions of others. It can be hard to keep your thoughts to yourself when you’re riding on a bus with someone annoying, but we suggest texting a friend that will help you laugh about the situation. Sometimes exchanging texts with a good pal is all you need to calm down.
Keep these light-hearted tips in mind to help mind your Ps and Qs while riding Modesto Area Express (MAX) & Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT). We hope they bring a smile to your face while riding:
- Ride like your grandma is sitting next to you!
- If you don’t have something nice to say on the bus, text it silently to a friend who will find it amusing.
- Enjoy your tasty beverage somewhere else so the rest of us don’t end up wearing it.
- Keep your hands, feet, gallon of milk, bunch of bananas, laundry detergent, and cat litter to yourself.
