Wait at a cleared area close to your bus stop, such as a driveway or crosswalk, if your stop is obstructed by snow.
Signal as the bus approaches to help the operator prepare to stop. Drivers will stop at clearings close to your stop to help you exit.
GOVA Transit services 1,015 bus stops and 110 bus shelters. Snow is cleared to provide access to most bus shelters within one or two days following the end of a storm. Snow is generally not cleared to provide access to most bus stops without shelters.
