NEW: FLAG STOPS
We now offer flag stops along our routes. Flag stops allow you to get on and off our vehicles in areas along the route that are safe for the vehicle to stop. To flag down the vehicle, please stand at a safe location on the roadside where the driver can see you and, when the van is approaching, signal or wave your hand over your head several times. If it is safe to do so, the driver will stop for you.
