The drivers are also told to slow down and reduce their distance.
If you are riding a bus when the weather is worse, IndyGo advises you to sit while rising, as the floors can become slippery.
Passengers should also:
- Wear warm, highly visible clothing to easily be spotted at a bus stop.
- Text the number “25370” with the word “Arrivals” and the “5-digit bus stop ID” for real-time arrival information.
- Allow for extra travel time to and from your destination.
- Use extra caution and watch your footing as snow and ice can make sidewalks, steps, and bus floors slippery. Hold onto the railing when boarding and exiting the bus.
