Fill out the top half of the Bag Tag with your destination, name and a contact number and rip the bottom half off to keep for yourself in the unlikely event that a claim has to be made. All this information will be put to use in the unlikely event of you being separated from your baggage. Remember, no Bag Tag means that no claim can be filed!

Passengers on routes that require transferring to another bus are responsible for moving their own baggage. Maritime Bus drivers will load and unload your baggage only. If you do require assistance to get your baggage from one bus to another, please notify a Maritime Bus driver.
