Conditions of carriage ensure safety and comfort

Using the bus service should be a pleasant experience for all. To make sure that everybody understands what is expected of them when using any bus facilities – the Transport Hub, bus stops and the buses themselves – GO GEORGE has drawn up Conditions of Carriage. These rules are meant to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers and can be read on the inside of all buses where a copy has been applied.

While pointing out undesirable behaviour, GO GEORGE also encourages courteous and kind behaviour among passengers, such as:

• Be kind and help the elderly or disabled person, or the woman carrying a child as well as shopping bags to get on the bus.
• Please make way for passengers with special needs to board and get seated first.
• Join the queue at the bus stop, respecting those who got there first.
