General Policies

Place your exact fare in the fare box next to the driver. Our drivers cannot make change. Take a seat immediately after entering, fasten your seat belt, and stay seated at all times while the bus is in motion.

When the bus is approaching your destination, you may tell the driver that you wish to get off or ring the chime on the larger buses. Please remain seated until the bus has come to a complete stop. After you exit, stand to the side of the road, or on the sidewalk until the bus has pulled away. For your own personal safety, it is recommended that you do not cross in front of the bus.

Seniors, when riding the fixed route, are considered persons aged 60 and older. To be eligible for the reduced rates a reduced fare identification card is required when boarding. Seniors, 60 and older, who have filled out the client registration forms and turned them into the appropriate office will be issued a reduced identification card. The card must be shown to the driver upon boarding the vehicle along with a picture ID. These cards are non-transferrable.

The Silver Rider Transit bus system does transport unattended children under the age of 16 years. All underage children must be accompanied by a responsible person at least 16 years of age or older. Small children must be removed from strollers and the stroller must be collapsed and secured. For safety reasons, all children capable of setting up on their own, must sit in a seat and not on an adult’s lap and if available a seatbelt must be used.

Silver Rider Transit is not responsible for any items left on the buses. Wallets, purses, backpacks, and medication is given special consideration and an attempt will be made to return. Contact the Silver Rider operations office immediately. All found items will be turned into Silver Rider operations office by the end of the driver’s shift. To check on lost items call Customer Service at (702) 298-4435 in Laughlin, (702) 346-7006 in Mesquite, and (702) 894-4190 in Boulder City.

All eligible individuals have the right to travel on the Silver Rider Transit bus system. We provide transportation with a maximum of personal comfort and safety, without the threat of physical or verbal abuse.

 

The SNTC has established an Illegal and Disruptive Passenger Behavioral Policy to address the safety and well-being of customers, passengers, and staff of Silver Rider. This policy is in effect in and around vehicles and facilities owned and/or operated by or on behalf of the SNTC/Silver Rider. The SNTC/Silver Rider recognizes that an individual’s disability or medical condition may cause a passenger to unknowingly and/or unintentionally violate the Illegal and Disruptive Behavioral Policy. For this reason, the SNTC/Silver Rider looks at each violation individually.

 

Silver Rider Transit reserves the right to refuse transportation services to anyone whose conduct is, or has been known to be violent, seriously disruptive, or illegal. If such a passenger would cause disruption or serious impairment to the health, physical comfort, and the safety of others or would otherwise jeopardize safe operations will be asked to discontinue riding.

Service animals are allowed to sit in the person’s lap as long as the individual can control the service animal. No part of the service animal is allowed to come in contact with the seat. If the service animal is too large to set in the person’s lap, the service animal must set on the floor. The service animal must be seated where it does not create a trip hazard. There is no charge for the service animal. All other animals must be in the appropriate animal carrier.
