  • Passengers will enter at the front of the bus, and exit through the back of the bus.
  • KU buses will be limited to 34 passengers at a time; passengers may only board a bus if it is below this capacity. Digital head signs will say “bus full” when 34 passengers are on board.
  • Certain windows will remain open to create air circulation for health and safety during COVID-19.
  • Drivers will participate in daily health checks before starting their shift.
  • Enhanced cleaning practices will be conducted daily, with HVAC intake and filter cleaning will be conducted weekly.
  • KU Transportation Services, Lawrence Transit System, and their operator, First Transit, may begin enforcing stricter passenger limits should they become necessary.

  • The HVAC intakes and filters on all the vehicles are cleaned each Sunday.
