If BART

| MAX
personnel will attempt to contact BART
before each afternoon return trip to Modesto
to determine if trains are running late.
Normal Modesto BART Express departure times

but if trains are running late, drivers will
wait up to ten (10) minutes past the scheduled departure
times. MAX cannot be held responsible for

Seating |
|
|
|
·
Seat
Reservations:
Monthly pass holders will make their reservations
for seating on the morning and afternoon bus for which
they have a pass.
On a space available basis only, monthly pass
holders may also ride on the bus in which they do not have
reserved seating.
·
Morning
Seating:
On
the morning trips to Dublin, the first priority for
boarding will be pass holders with reservations on that
bus followed by pass holders who usually ride the other
morning bus.
It does not matter if the non-pass holders are
purchasing one-way or round-trip tickets, they will board
on a first-come, first-served basis.
·
Seating
Priorities:
Seats of pass holders who have not arrived five (5)
minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave in the
morning will be assumed to be vacant and available for use
by non-pass holders.
If the pass holder boards the bus within five (5)
minutes of departure and their reserved seat has been
taken, the pass holder will be allowed to sit in any
unoccupied seat, or stand.
Early arrival is not required on afternoon buses.
MAX will not assume a pass holder will not be
returning on the bus that evening because they did not
ride the bus to the BART station in the morning.
Therefore, there will always be room on the
afternoon bus for pass holders even if they arrive late in
the morning or only ride in the afternoon.
·
Afternoon
Seating:
On the afternoon return trips from Dublin, the
first priority for boarding will be pass holders with
reservations on that bus followed by pass holders who
usually ride the other afternoon bus.
Passengers with round-trip tickets will be boarded
next, and one-way ticket purchasers will be required to
wait to see if there are enough spaces (seats or standing
room) to accommodate them on the bus before they are sold
a ticket.
|
|
|
|
Passes
Non-Transferable |
|
|
| Passes
are not transferable between patrons. All persons not
paying a one-way cash fare must
have a valid round-trip ticket or monthly pass in their
possession while riding the bus. Fare
evasion is a violation of State Penal Code Section 640. |
