The vehicles are boarded from the front and disembarked from the rear after the user has clearly informed the driver by an automated system or hand gesture.

For safety reasons and for the proper organization of transportation, users may only get on or off the vehicle at stops identified and marked on each route of the network. All "convenience" stops are strictly prohibited.

Getting on and off the vehicle must be done with respect for everyone, especially persons with reduced mobility, after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

The driver is authorized to objectively refuse access to the vehicle to a passenger whose behavior clearly poses a risk of disturbing public order (drunkenness, excessive aggressiveness, various forms of violence, etc.)

When a passenger displays one of these behaviors during the trip, the driver may encourage him or her to get off at the next stop on the route, with the exception of minors.

However, this type of incident should be recorded immediately.

Article 4 : Vehicle Accessibility

Bags, luggage and briefcases must be placed in such a way as not to obstruct the aisle and access to exits, particularly the emergency door.

Animals accepted on the network (small animals or dogs for the disabled) must be kept on a leash and muzzled and must not interfere with the seating and circulation of other passengers.

In all cases, the owners remain solely responsible for any incident that occurs to their animal or to third parties due to the fault of their animal.

The driver may refuse access to the vehicle if the vehicle's capacity (seating and standing room) is exceeded, although priority access must always be given to minors traveling alone.

In the event that it is not possible to pick up the animal, the driver must immediately inform his superiors by telephone and wait for the arrival of the relays on site.

In the event of a criminal offence, Cap'bus may refer the matter to the legal authorities for prosecution. This referral does not preclude the application of administrative sanctions or the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the case of vandalism by the transport service provider.

Additional general remark : any act of vandalism or deterioration of equipment involves, in addition to the sanctions defined above, the financial responsibility of the user if he/she is of age, or of his/her legal representative if he/she is a minor, with respect to the transport provider.

Ø  The warnings are pronounced by the agents of the Cap'bus network after information (Hérault Méditerranée agglomeration community) and the advisory opinion of any secondary organizing authorities concerned (region, department)

Repeat offenses, temporary exclusions and permanent exclusions are pronounced by the Cap'bus network controllers, after interviewing the user in the framework of a joint disciplinary committee composed of elected officials and agents of the agglomeration, representatives of the transport company and the driving personnel, and if necessary, representatives of the secondary organizing authorities and parents of students.

Any case not provided for in these rules and duly notified in writing to the organizing authority by the authority by the carrier may give rise to the drafting of a rider.
