Do you board at The Green/Tilia Roundabout bus stop on the VX, V, and U lines?

Starting in Spring Quarter, to help speed up the boarding process at The Green/Tilia Roundabout, we're requesting that customers form two lines. The new yellow lines and decals show you where to form the two lines.

When a double decker bus arrives and a conductor is present, one line will enter through the front doors, and one line will enter through the rear doors.

When a single deck bus arrives (or when a conductor is not present on a double decker bus), both lines will enter through the front door. One line will merge into the other line as shown by the decals.

We hope this new procedure helps speed up your ride!

Image Description 1: The Green/Tilia Roundabout bus stop with yellow decals showing two lines to stand in. Signage states "Form two lines" and yellow feet decals show people where to stand and line up.

Image Description 2: Close up on a pavement decal that has a red double decker bus on it and the decal says "If Double Deck, Board through Rear Doors."

Image Description 3: Close up of a pavement decal that has a red single deck bus on it and black merge arrows. Decal says "If Single Deck, Merge"
