Riding GCT
Fare required for all passengers. No discounts apply. On local bus service only, children shorter than the height of GCT’s fare box ride free when accompanied by a fare-paying customer. On commuter express bus service only, children 2 years or younger can ride in a fare-paying customer’s lap for free. If the child sits in a seat on the commuter express bus, the seat must be paid for.
Food and Drink Policy
No consuming food or drinks on the bus. Sealed beverages are acceptable as long as they are stored away.
Stroller/Non-Mobility Device Policy
Patrons must remove children from strollers. Strollers must be folded down and stored away from the aisle while the bus is in motion.
All carts, strollers, luggage and any other large item brought on board a GCT bus must not block the aisle or doorways or deprive another customer of a seat or a wheelchair customer from use of the securement area. Folding carts must be folded and kept under control by the customer while on board the bus.
The best example of devices that are not considered a mobility device and may be prevented from boarding on GCT vehicles, are shopping carts, non-folding strollers and wheeled-baskets, bicycles, and other devices not specifically designed to assist an individual with a disability and/or their mobility.
GCT recognizes that walkers and rolling walkers, canes, crutches and similar items are designed for, and used as, mobility aids. Based on the definition of mobility equipment, carts are not intended to be used as mobility aids or devices. While some people do use commercial carts for this purpose, GCT does not support carts for such use on buses.

Gwinnett County Transit (GCT) offers services to individuals who are accompanied by a service animal.
Per the Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 37.3, a service animal is any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items.
