Low Floor Buses
Available on all routes, these buses have a front door ramp rather than stairs. Each low floor bus also has a kneeling feature that lowers the front entrance to allow easier entry and exit for our passengers.
All low floor buses have flip-up seats in the front priority seating area to make room for or to secure a mobility aid, like a scooter, wheelchair, walker or stroller. While every low floor bus has two wheelchair positions, some are equipped with additional rear-facing areas. Each of these wheelchair areas have restraint belts, clamps or hooks to secure mobility aids while the bus is in motion. Brakes must be applied to mobility aids for passenger safety.
Our ETS Operators will let you know how to correctly board and exit the bus, as well as how to properly secure your mobility aid. If you need help, please ask the Operator. Please also understand if the Operator is unable to help due to physical limitation.
Size matters! If you use a scooter or wheelchair, the maximum size is 28" x 48" (71 cm x 121 cm). The maximum weight allowed for the mobility aid and passenger is 600 lbs (275 kg).
Take a low floor bus for a spin with a 360 panoramic tour. The tours provide a 360 degree image of a bus, which can be viewed from your computer. It gives viewers a sense of walking through the bus, like a sneak preview of what to expect before you even board the vehicle!
Note to DATS registrants: You can take one person for free to assist you on our regular ETS bus or LRT service. You must pay your own fare first.
The Routes 1, 4, 8, 9, 30, 32, 82, 111, 128, 139 and 180 are guaranteed to be serviced by low floor buses equipped with a bike rack.
