LAS VEGAS – The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is pleased to relaunch its “Love Your Ride” campaign with celebrations dedicated to promoting kindness, respect, and a positive experience for transit employees and customers.

“We carry more than 153,000 passenger trips every day, so it’s especially important we strive to ensure a positive experience for all. Riding the bus is a shared experience, and we believe all passengers deserve a safe and enjoyable journey,” said M.J. Maynard, CEO, RTC. “As we continue to enhance our transit system, we ask our customers to respect their ride, fostering a positive environment for everyone.”

To make Love Your Ride memorable, the RTC encourages riders to practice transit etiquette through eight small acts of love, including:

• Pack your patience: Remember, your driver is working hard to safely get you to the places and events that matter most.
• Can you hear that?: If listening to music, use headphones, keep your volume low, and keep phone calls to a minimum.
• Love is in the fare: Board quickly by having your ticket ready, using the new Tap & Go feature, or using the rideRTC app or for easy pass scanning.
• Kindness counts: Consider offering your seat to elderly, pregnant, or disabled passengers.
• Share a smile: A smile goes a long way! Share it with drivers, security officers, and fellow passengers.
• Hold the fries: Please avoid eating or drinking on the bus to maintain a clean environment.
• Stow your stuff: Be considerate; do not use multiple seats for bags.
• Don't be rude, dude (Ride with Love): Everyone deserves a safe and comfortable ride. Threatening or attacking others is prohibited.

“Love Your Ride is all about creating a positive transit experience for everyone,” said Maynard. “Join us in spreading love, respect, and gratitude throughout the community.”
