Check the direction before boarding

1. Write your boarding stop and destination stop exactly as shown by the operator. Note the route identifier and the destination or direction displayed for your journey.
2. At the stop, compare that information with the sign on the actual vehicle or platform. Check the next two stops when a route diagram is available.
3. Confirm that your destination appears in the correct order, especially where the same route runs on both sides of a street. Ask staff if the signs disagree.

A route number alone does not establish direction or stopping pattern. Follow current operator displays when your saved plan conflicts with them.
