Ticket Validity & Passenger Responsibility

All valid tickets can be in the form of either:

  • A screenshot of the email confirmation page, or

  • A printed copy of the email confirmation page.

This confirmation serves as your valid ticket for boarding.

It is the sole responsibility of both the ticket purchaser and the passenger to ensure the following before travel:

  1. Correct Passenger Name

    • The ticket must display the passenger’s full legal first and last name as it appears on their government-issued ID (if ID is required).

    • Any discrepancies in name may result in boarding being denied without refund.

  2. Accurate Order Information

    • The ticket must reflect the correct travel date, departure time, and route.

    • Tickets are only valid for the specific trip listed in the order details.

  3. Ticket Presentation

    • Passengers must be able to present the ticket in either digital (screenshot) or printed form upon request.

    • It is recommended to save or print the confirmation in advance to avoid issues with internet connectivity or device failure.

Failure to present a valid ticket with accurate information may result in denial of boarding. No changes can be made at the time of departure. Refunds or rescheduling are subject to our standard change and cancellation policy.

Tickets are non-transferable. Presentation of a ticket by anyone other than the passenger named on the ticket renders the ticket void. Such tickets may be confiscated and will not be honored for travel.

Tickets are valid only when used in accordance with these Terms. Passengers found traveling without a valid ticket may be subject to an additional fare or fee.

If a ticket is rendered invalid due to the passenger’s failure to comply with these Terms, City Connect may, at its discretion:

  • Refuse to board the passenger.      
  • Cancel any remaining portion of the passenger’s booking

Children & Minors

  • Children Under 2 Years Old:

  • Children Aged 2 and Older:
    All children 2 years of age or older must have their own seat and a valid ticket for travel.

  • Children Up to 15 Years Old:
    Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times during travel.

City Connect is not responsible for the supervision of unaccompanied minors and reserves the right to refuse travel to any minor if it is deemed unsafe or inappropriate under the circumstances.

Ticket & Identification Requirements

  • Ticket Presentation:
    Each passenger may be asked to present a valid printed or digital ticket to board the vehicle.

Tickets are valid only for the scheduled trip and are non-transferable.

  • Identification Requirements for Passengers 16 and Older:
    During boarding, the Driver Operator may request that passengers aged 16 years or older present a valid, government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms of identification include, but are not limited to:

    If requested, passengers who are 16 years of age or older must present the required identification in order to board. Failure to provide acceptable ID upon request may result in denial of boarding without refund.

  • Non-Refundable Policy:
    Except as required by applicable law or expressly stated in these Terms, all fares are non-refundable.

  • Additional Charges:
    Fares may be subject to additional charges, including applicable taxes, service fees, and surcharges.

Transfers

Transfer Operator

In most cases, a Transfer involves a Transfer Operator, and Driver Operator.  where one Driver is relieved by another. This typically occurs to support driver safety, compliance with hours-of-service regulations, and operational efficiency during long-distance trips.

  • Passengers usually remain on the same bus, and no action is required on their part.

  • The Transfer Operator may either: begin the route picking up passengers, then Driver Operator will complete the route. Or the transfer Operator can relieve the Driver Operator and finish the remainder of the  route dropping off passengers.

  • These transfers are routine, quick, and typically do not cause any delays to the trip schedule.

Law Enforcement Access

At City Connect, we are committed to protecting the rights and privacy of our passengers while complying with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. We recognize that law enforcement agencies may occasionally request to conduct searches on our buses. Our policy regarding such requests is as follows:

  • Warrant Required: City Connect requires a valid search warrant before allowing law enforcement officers to board or search our vehicles, particularly when the search targets specific individuals or belongings.

  • Exceptions Permitted by Law: In some cases, warrantless searches may be legally permissible, such as:

    • In exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent threat to safety)

    • When conducted with passenger consent

    • At border checkpoints or within certain transportation security zones

    • During a routine safety inspection, as allowed by law

  • Passenger Notification: When appropriate and safe to do so, City Connect will attempt to notify passengers if law enforcement boards a bus and initiates a search. However, in certain legal or emergency situations, prior notification may not be possible.

  • Non-Interference: City Connect employees are instructed not to interfere with law enforcement activities, but are also not authorized to waive passengers’ rights. Passengers have the right to remain silent, refuse consent to search (unless otherwise compelled), and to request legal counsel.

  • Cooperation and Documentation: Any law enforcement activity involving a search or seizure aboard a City Connect vehicle will be documented internally and reviewed for compliance with company policy and applicable law.

Each passenger may bring one (1) carry-on item free of charge, not exceeding 16 x 12 x 7 inches (42 x 30 x 18 cm) in size and 25 lb (7 kg) in weight. Slight size deviations may be permitted as long as the combined dimensions do not exceed 35 inches (90 cm). Oversized carry-ons must be stored under the seat or in the rear cargo area and will count as the passenger’s one free Stored baggage item. Carry-on baggage remains the passenger’s responsibility for the entire duration of the trip. City Connect is not liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged carry-on items. Carry-on items should not interfere with bus operations or inconvenience other passengers. Any suspicious access or tampering should be reported to the Driver/ Transfer Operator immediately. Passengers are responsible for inspecting their baggage before disembarking.

Stored Item

In addition to the carry-on, each passenger is allowed one (1) piece of baggage for free, which may be stored under the seat or in the rear cargo area. The maximum size for this baggage is 24 x 16 x 10 inches (60 x 40 x 25 cm), with a weight limit of 40 lb (18 kg). Slight deviations from these dimensions may be allowed provided the total of the length, width, and height does not exceed 55 inches (140 cm). Stored items should not interfere with bus operations or inconvenience other passengers. 

Passengers must also comply with restrictions regarding prohibited or restricted items. Please refer to the Permitted and Prohibited Items section for complete details on what may or may not be brought aboard City Connect buses. If you require special assistance handling your baggage due to age, disability, or a medical condition, please contact City Connect personnel in advance. Special assistance is not guaranteed without prior notice and must be arranged ahead of your travel date.

Excess Baggage

Passengers wishing to bring excess baggage—meaning more than the allowed one carry-on and one rear or under the seat storage item—may do so only if additional space is available and a fee is paid for each additional item. Excess baggage must comply with the same size and weight limits and can be booked either through phone call reservation or online ticket purchase up to 2 hours before the bus’s scheduled departure time. However, City Connect does not guarantee that excess baggage will be accepted on any specific trip.

Bulky Baggage

Bulky baggage, which exceeds standard baggage size or weight but falls within acceptable limits, is limited to one item per passenger and must be reserved and paid for in advance. This can only be reserved by calling City Connect at (888) 676-1403. This will be charged the amount of the regular  fare for that route.

Prohibited Items

For safety and legal compliance, passengers are prohibited from bringing hazardous, illegal, or dangerous items, fixtures, furnishings, electronic devices, surfboards, cardboard cartons, and furniture parts, Wheelchairs, mobility scooters, bicycles , electric scooters and the like are prohibited.

Oversized baggage

baggage that exceeds 75 lb (34 kg) or 95 inches (240 cm) in total dimensions is not accepted.

Violation of this policy may result in removal from the bus, travel bans, and/or referral to law enforcement. A full list of permitted and prohibited items, including whether they may be carried on or stored, is available in the dedicated “Permitted and Prohibited Items” section.

Passengers are solely responsible for safeguarding all valuable or fragile items such as cash, electronics, jewelry, medications, important documents, and personal devices.

City Connect assumes no liability for any loss or damage of such items, regardless of how they are stored.

  • A description of the item

  • Date and time of the trip

Lost items are held for 30 days from the date they are found. After this period, unclaimed items may be donated, recycled, or discarded, depending on their condition and value. Perishable, hazardous, or unsanitary items may be discarded immediately.

Proof of Ownership:
To retrieve an item, passengers may be required to provide proof of ownership or valid ID. City Connect is not responsible for any lost items and cannot guarantee recovery.

Retrieving Lost Items:

If the items are found, passengers must either arrange to collect them from the warehouse or submit a prepaid shipping label to have them returned. Passengers are responsible for all costs associated with retrieval or shipping.

Items lost due to Accidents:

City Connect expressly disclaims liability for any damage or loss to baggage, including strollers, except in cases involving a bus accident or collision. In such rare cases, liability is limited to $250 per adult ticket and $125 per child ticket, excluding mobility aids.

City Connect disclaims all liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, personal inconvenience, or emotional distress, arising out of or in connection with its services—regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or if City Connect was advised of the possibility thereof. City Connect also disclaims any liability for damages arising out of or in connection with compliance with applicable laws, regulatory orders, security directives, or governmental mandates. Passengers remain solely responsible for their compliance with such laws and directives. The failure of City Connect to enforce any provision of these Terms at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to enforce such provision in the future.

Severability
Should any provision within these Terms be deemed unenforceable, invalid, or contrary to law by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision shall be interpreted, if possible, in a manner that preserves its intent and enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In any instance where class or representative claims are permitted by law, the passenger further agrees not to seek attorneys’ fees or costs and not to participate in or benefit from any class-wide recovery. This waiver is a material term of the passenger’s agreement with City Connect and acceptance of these Terms.
