Are there any restrictions on what I can bring on board a YRT bus?

Asked 2 years ago
York Region Transit has specific guidelines regarding what passengers can bring on board its buses to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. Generally, standard items such as personal bags, groceries, and small parcels are permitted. However, oversized items, such as large suitcases or bulky furniture, may not be allowed as they can obstruct aisles and create safety hazards. Furthermore, YRT has restrictions on hazardous materials, including flammable substances and any items that emit strong odors. Passengers are also discouraged from bringing any live animals on board, except for service animals that assist individuals with disabilities. Bicycles are generally permitted during designated hours, but it is advisable to check the guidelines beforehand to understand any specific conditions that may apply. It is also useful to be aware of the bus capacity limits, as there may be times when space is limited. For comprehensive details about YRT's policies on bringing items aboard, you may wish to consult the official website where contact information is available for any further inquiries.
