Help Our Bus Operators See You — Especially at dawn and dusk.

As the days get shorter, it becomes harder for bus operators to see passengers waiting in dark clothing or standing away from the stop. Your visibility can make all the difference.

Here’s how you can help keep yourself safe:
• Wear bright or reflective clothing — light colors, safety vests, or items with reflective stripes.
• Carry a small light or use your phone flashlight to signal the bus as it approaches.
• Stand near the pickup location and step forward (safely) as the bus nears so the operator can see you sooner.
• Avoid wearing all black or dark hoodies when waiting at night or early morning.

Remember: Operators want to see you before they’re right at the stop — your visibility gives them time to pull over safely.

Together, we can make every ride safer — for you, for our operators, and for everyone on the road.

Beginning on October 1, 2024, Harbor Transit riders purchasing ride credits with a credit/debit card will incur a small service fee charged by a third party electronic payment processing company.

Currently, riders can purchase ride credits with a credit or debit card through the Lakeshore Go app, through Harbor Transit’s website at www.harbortransit.org/fares, or in person at our facility with a card, cash, or check. A service fee is charged for each electronic payment transaction, and will be charged automatically. Riders do not have to perform any additional actions when purchasing ride credits. 

The service fees are as follows:

• In-Person Payment with a Credit/Debit card = 2.95% + $0.50 service fee per transaction
• Online Payment or Lakeshore Go Payment with a Credit/Debit card = 2.9% + $0.30 service fee per transaction 

The good news is, there are several ways that riders can reduce electronic payment service fee charges:

• Purchase a Monthly Pass if you are a frequent rider.
• Purchase a “Bundle” of ride credits (they come in the amounts of $9, $18, or $27), or purchase your ride credits in bulk for any other amount of your choosing. 
• Pay with cash or a check at our facility at 440 N Ferry Street to avoid incurring any fees at all. Your ride to and from Harbor Transit to add ride credits to your account will be free.

With a fleet of 29 accessible buses, Harbor Transit is committed to providing affordable and convenient transportation to all of our Tri-Cities residents. Since 1975, we’ve provided transportation for thousands of passengers going to work, school, medical appointments, and other important destinations.
