The Pierce Transit system takes safety very seriously. They have implemented various measures to ensure the safety and security of their passengers, such as installing surveillance cameras on buses and at transit centers, hiring trained security personnel, and providing safety training to their drivers. 

Additionally, riding the bus can be safer than driving, as bus drivers are trained professionals and are less likely to be involved in accidents compared to individual drivers. However, it's always important to practice safe behavior and be aware of your surroundings when riding the bus or any form of transportation.

Riding the bus unlocks a ton of cost-saving opportunities! When you don't have to pay to run and maintain a car, you can save money on:
