About: Bus Hailing Kit

A clear plastic pouch with three slots for route numbers to assist customers with identifying their desired route.

There are also reflective strips at the top to indicate if additional help is needed.

A customer waiting at the bus stop will hold the bus hailing kit to “hail” the route displayed in the pouch.

This is ideal when a customer is waiting at a stop where many routes stop.
