Bay Transit Covid-19 Service Update

Bay Transit continues to operate as normal:

  • We are conducting employee health checks for all Bay Transit employees at the beginning of their shift every day, including checking for COVID-19 symptoms and taking their temperature.
  • All buses are being disinfected several times a day.
  • On demand service is available throughout the service area from Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM.
  • As customers call in to schedule rides, they are pre-screened.
  • To facilitate social distancing while on the bus, we limit buses to a maximum of three people and have seats taped off to keep riders separated and away from the bus driver and other riders.
  • In coordination with area hospitals, Bay Transit has suspended stops at Urgent Care facilities and hospitals along our fixed route lines in Gloucester and Essex County.
  • As customers call in to schedule rides, we are asking them to limit travel to essential rides to work, medical appointments, the bank and shopping for necessities.
  • Whenever possible, we are asking riders to wear face masks while riding on Bay Transit buses.

If You Are Sick, Don’t Ride the Bus

  • No Fever of 100.4 or Higher
  • No Chills, Coughing, Sore Throat or Shortness of breath

Keep Your Distance

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.
