Here are some cool tips for riders as they walk to bus stops: 1. Always carry water. Containers with spill-proof lids are allowed on buses. 2. Plan your trip. Use YCAT's catTRAX for real-time schedule info to reduce wait times. 3. Create your own shade by using a small umbrella or by wearing a hat. 4. Always wear sunscreen. 5. If temperatures exceed 115 degrees, YCAT will provide free water to all passengers on board buses.
