Drivers will perform routine cleaning and cleansing of high- touch surfaces throughout the shift. The inside of every vehicle will be cleaned and either cleared altogether after every morning and night course or potentially at any rate once every day.

We would like to make all passengers aware that the Bulldog Transit Service has established these new policy and procedures while also increasing measures internally to ensure cleanliness and sanitation for everyone’s protection. What has not changed during this time is our continued dedication to safety, reliability and efficiency.
