Information on the bus stop panel

All bus stops are not alike! The height of the curb, the gradient of the street, the presence of a depression in the curb (driveway entrance for example) are some of the reasons why the boarding procedures might differ from one stop to another. To know what the procedures will be at a specific stop, just look at the bus stop panel.
