The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) strives to provide a safe, comfortable commute for all transit customers and all RTC transit passengers are asked to adhere to the RTC customer code below.
As a rider on the RTC transit system, I will:
- Wear a shirt and shoes at all times;
- Have exact change ready as the driver cannot make change;
- Refrain from eating or drinking on the bus and have all drinks and food contained in spill-proof containers;
- Use electronic devices, such as a radio or walkman only with headphones as long as the sound is not audible to others;
- Not distract the driver and stay behind the yellow line while the bus is in motion;
- Yield the seats in front of the vehicle for senior and disabled customers;
- Service animals are welcome and ride free of charge. All other animals must be in a cage with a secured covered top and will be allowed on the bus as long as there is open space not occupied by other passengers. If a seat is required for a pet, full adult fare will be charged.
- Stay clear of doorways and stairwells;
- Refrain from fighting, using vulgar or offensive language, pushing, shouting or participating in rough behavior;
- Remove children from strollers and fold down strollers;

- Not bring on the bus any cart that cannot be folded or put between the seats; and
- Keep aisle clear of grocery bags or other packages.
