Beginning Sunday, February 14, Big Blue Bus will resume fare collection and front door boarding on all buses. In March 2020, we suspended fare payment and required customers to board through the rear doors, to support social distancing between Operators and customers.
Big Blue Bus has retrofitted its fleet with protective, plexiglass barriers for Operators. The barriers, along with other on-board safety measures - rigorous cleaning, mandatory face coverings, physical distancing, and capacity limits - help ensure that fare collection and front door boarding can safely resume, with minimal contact between Operators and customers.
