This means that the bus operates and follows policy in the manner of other public buses. Please note that TA does not provide a bus monitor or take responsibility for student behaviors and interactions that occur on the bus. TA students who ride the MTA bus are expected to adhere to and sign off on a written code of TA and MTA conduct and policies. TA reserves the right to suspend or terminate bus service for any student who does not behave appropriately. TA does not have any input regarding bus routes, bus stops, changes in schedule, or bus delays.
