Safety measures Bay Transit Express is taking to lessen COVID-19 exposure.
We’re working hard to ensure that every trip you take is as safe and worry-free as possible. Here is what we’ve put in place:
- Wellness checks. In-app wellness checks help make sure passengers and drivers are symptom-free and ready to ride before they get going. Please stay home if you have either been diagnosed with COVID-19, think you’re exhibiting symptoms, or have been in contact with someone who has recently tested positive.
- Limited vehicle capacity. Vehicle capacity is limited in accordance with social distancing guidelines. Additionally, in vehicles with automatic doors, please wait for the driver to open and close the door to avoid touching the handles.
Regular vehicle cleaning. Vehicles are being professionally cleaned regularly and we’ve provided drivers with cleaning supplies in order to perform frequent and thorough wipedowns of the vehicle interior, with extra focus on common surfaces and high-contact areas. They’re also equipped with plastic partitions between drivers and riders.
Mask Mandate Update:
Effective immediately, Bay Transit passengers and drivers will no longer be required to wear a mask onboard the bus. Masks are optional, and Bay Transit will continue to support those passengers and drivers who wish to wear a mask. Bay Transit encourages all persons to wear masks while on the bus, especially older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Thank you for riding Bay Transit.

Yes, simply call 804-693-6977 and we’ll assist you over the phone.
You can bring up to 8 additional passengers. Please note that each additional passenger costs $1.
Our tech pairs riders heading in the same direction, meaning passengers might be getting picked up and dropped off throughout your ride. In order to keep things moving as quickly and efficiently as possible, we usually ask you to meet us at a nearby corner instead of right outside the address you entered — that way, the driver doesn’t have to make any detours that could slow things down.
After you book a ride, the app will display your pickup spot — we’ll either give you the address or business name at your pickup spot to help you find it. Either way, there will always be a dotted line to show you how to get there!
If you cancel a ride, there’s no charge. However, please remember that Bay Transit Express is a community service and cancelling rides can impact other riders. If the driver cannot locate you after the 2-minute waiting period, you’ll be charged a no-show penalty of $1.
Re-book directly in your app, and then send an email explaining what happened to baytransitexpress@bayaging.org. You won’t be charged for this ride.
All vehicles are branded with Bay Transit Express’ logo and colors, so they should be easy to spot.
