The “Request Stop” buttons are commonly used on city buses at all times. By pressing the button, it tells the driver that you wish to get off at the next designated bus stop.
During the school day, campus buses will usually stop at every stop regardless if someone taps the button or not. For less busy times (like evening and weekend hours), riders should press the button to alert the driver of a desired stop.
Buses will not stop in places where there is not a designated campus bus stop.
