Boarding Tips

Have your fare payment or ticket out of your wallet, purse or cell phone case and ready before the bus arrives.  As the bus approaches, wave to signal the driver that you would like to board the bus and then step back away from the curb.  Wait for passengers to exit the bus before entering.  Insert your payment or bus ticket into the farebox.  If you use a mobility device, such as a wheelchair or walker, a ramp or a wheelchair lift may be deployed for you to board the bus.  Take a seat and enjoy the ride!

You may board the City Bus at any major street corner along the route or at a fire hydrant in the middle of a long block.  Please be aware of the direction the bus is coming from so you are on the right side.  Major boarding points for the City Buses are at Walmart out on 37th Ave at the bus shelter, Dakota Square Mall at Door C between Scheels and Sleep Inn, all Marketplace Foods out along Broadway, on the south end of the parking lot at Marketplace North and on 2nd Ave SW for Arrowhead, Cashwise Foods on 16th St SW the sidewalk by Wells Fargo Bank, Social Security Administration on the frontage road, City of Minot Public Library in front of the steps, ND Job Service on frontage road, Hire Quest on North Broadway, ND State Fair grounds on Burdick Expressway, Trinity Hospital north end of parking lot, Trinity Medical Arts on 4th St SE, Dakota College of Bottineau on Burdick Expressway, Minot State University along University Ave., City of Minot Public Works Department on 31st St SE, Scandinavian Heritage Center on Broadway and at the Minot City Transit Transfer Center located at 205 1st St SW.
