Arriva UK details rules for bus passengers including prohibited items and conduct for safe comfortable journeys.
Arriva is a major bus company in the UK. Arriva North West runs buses in Merseyside. The company values its riders and wants them to have safe, comfy, and clean trips.
Arriva has rules for passengers. Be nice to others, staff, and the buses. If not, they may refuse you service and might even ask you to leave.
You can’t smoke at all, including all kinds of cigarettes and e-cigs. Don’t be rude to others, which includes bad language or violence. Being drunk or high is not okay.
Don’t wear dirty clothes or keep your feet off seats. Loud music is not allowed, and neither is eating or drinking things that bother people, or selling stuff without permission.
Don’t break or mess with anything, and criminal acts are banned. Throwing trash on the bus is wrong, as is leaning out or throwing things. You must leave if the driver asks.
Arriva wants you safe, so only get on at bus stops. If the stop’s closed, find a safe spot. Don’t chat with the driver while moving unless it’s an emergency.
Stay off the stairs and don’t stand near doorways, the company says. Also, no rollerblades or other unsafe shoes are permitted on the bus.
