What happens when a bus is at capacity?
Riders can check crowding information via the rider capacity feature.

The operator will continue to recognize requests, by onboard riders, to exit.
What are my options if my bus did not stop?
If your stop is bypassed, please consider the following options:
- Check crowding information and next bus arrival on AC Transit’s Rider Capacity feature.
