How to Board & Exit The Bus
When waiting at a bus stop, you may have to waive down the driver to get them to stop to pick you up. You board the bus at the front doors near the driver. This is where you pay your fare using cash or T-Money card. When it comes time for your stop, press a red request stop button and exit at the rear doors. You will have to tap your card when exiting on the card reader at the rear doors.
Transfer Rules
Transfers from the bus to another bus or subway is only available if you are using T-Money card. Just like the subway, the bus is a tap on, tap off system. You can transfer to and from other buses and subways up to 5 times as long as your transfers are all within 30 minutes of leaving your first vehicle. If you are transferring to another bus, you have to tell the driver you are transferring, and they will configure the card reader to transfers so you aren't charged another fare.
