Bay Transit Covid-19 Service Update

Bay Transit continues to operate as normal:

• We are conducting employee health checks for all Bay Transit employees at the beginning of their shift every day, including checking for COVID-19 symptoms and taking their temperature.
• All buses are being disinfected several times a day.
• On demand service is available throughout the service area from Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM.
• To minimize passenger and driver interaction, Bay Transit has suspended all fare collection.  That means all passengers ride for free until further notice.
• As customers call in to schedule rides, they are pre-screened.
• To facilitate social distancing while on the bus, we limit buses to a maximum of three people and have seats taped off to keep riders separated and away from the bus driver and other riders.
• In coordination with area hospitals, Bay Transit has suspended stops at Urgent Care facilities and hospitals along our fixed route lines in Gloucester and Essex County.
• As customers call in to schedule rides, we are asking them to limit travel to essential rides to work, medical appointments, the bank and shopping for necessities.
• Whenever possible, we are asking riders to wear face masks while riding on Bay Transit buses.

If You Are Sick, Don’t Ride the Bus

• No Fever of 100.4 or Higher
• No Chills, Coughing, Sore Throat or Shortness of breath

Keep Your Distance

• Stay 6 Feet Away From Driver
• Do Not Pay Fare – it has been suspended (See above)
• Walk Quickly Past the Driver
• Stay 6 Feet Away from Other Passengers

As ordered by the Governor, beginning Friday, May 29^th, ALL Bay Transit drivers and passengers are required to wear face masks when boarding, riding and alighting from Bay Transit buses.  If you are ten years old or older you must wear a mask while riding on Bay Transit.
