HOW TO RIDE
Advanced ride scheduling: Call South Lane Wheels dispatcher, toll-free (877) 200-5808 in advance of the posted departure time at bus stop location. If the requested trip to or from a destination doesn’t exceed bus capacity, the trip will be scheduled. Then, the rider needs to be at the scheduled bus stop before the bus leaves at the departure time. Dispatch office hours are 8am-5pm Monday-Friday.

Space is available on a first come, first serve basis with scheduled rides having priority over a walk-on request. Bus will not leave any stop before the posted time on the timetable, so arrive 5-10 minutes early to allow for boarding time.

Bus stop Walk-on: Before boarding, the driver will ask for your trip destination and return trip time. If this rider wants to schedule trips for later that day, the dispatcher may be able to offer and schedule guaranteed future trips.
