Planning ahead can make traveling in bad weather not so bad. Here are some tips to help you prepare for riding the bus in the rain.

Check the weather report

The weather might be different for your start and end points.

Know before you go

Sign up for alerts and keep an eye on our Real Time Bus Information so you know if your bus is detouring or delayed. Buses may need to detour to avoid low-lying streets, flooded underpasses, or roads blocked by fallen trees or power lines.

Pack a portable charger

You may be using your phone more often in a storm to check service alerts and maps. A portable charger can give you some extra juice to get home if your battery is running low.

Dress warmly

Wear your rain gear, like waterproof jackets and footwear, and dress in layers. Don’t just rely on your trusty umbrella – strong winds can break them or blow rain sideways.

Keep your umbrella with you

Look around you before you leave for all your belongings. For Lost & Found, call 1-800-RIDE-INFO or fill out this form.
