HOW TO use public transportation

After you buy a bus pass, you will need to know how to use it.  There is an awesome website that gives you directions on how to use public transportation: www.sdcommute.com.  Have your starting address and destination address ready!

Go to the website: www.sdcommute.com
Click on "Trip Planner" in the upper left corner of the website screen.
Select "English Trip Planner."

Enter your starting address.  
*For the school address, enter 1706 Fifth Ave.
Enter your destination address.  
*To find an address, search google.com with the name of your destination or ask a host parent or teacher for help.                                                      
Select the day you want to go.
Select the time you want to leave OR arrive.
Click on "Plan your Trip."
Print out or write down the directions you like best and you are ready to ride!
Remember: You can always ask directions if you get lost.  But carry a map just in case ;)

How to ask for directions:
Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to X?
Excuse me, do you know where the nearest X is?
