Your Safety and Security

Comfort, safety, and service have defined our commitment to customers since 1908. 
Martz Bus has developed and implemented Security Policies and Procedures that add greater emphasis, reinforcement and reassurance to all aspects of security for personnel and passengers.
 
Security is a part of safety, and your safety continues to be our utmost concern.
 
PLEASE NOTE:
 
Please remain seated at all times when the coach is in motion.
When moving to or from the restroom – grip the overhead rails or the seat backs for safety and be alert for sudden movement of the coach.

Your coach is equipped with passenger seat belts, we recommend you use them.

NY State Law requires patrons use the seat belts on chartered (rented) buses in New York.

Never block the center aisle and use only the overhead parcel racks for carry-on items. Do not place them on any seats.

Emergency hatches are located in the roof above the center aisle; the windows can serve as emergency exits.
Follow your driver’s instructions. Please take a moment to locate the emergency exit nearest you.

Notify authorities of an emergency or suspicious activity by calling 911.

A fire extinguisher is located behind the driver or under the first seat. The entrance door has a RED emergency air release under the dash.

Passengers are not to exit the coach until arrival at their designated stop.

Smoking on the coach or within 20 feet of the entry door is prohibited.

Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.

Fellow passengers should not be able to hear your devices (phone/tablets), keep volumes low and use headphones.

Use handrails to exit the coach and tell your driver if you need assistance.
