Fireworks banned on CT buses
Community Transit reminds passengers that fireworks of any kind are not allowed on the agency’s buses or property, including park-and-ride lots.
Even “safe and sane” fireworks sold in some communities can create a safety hazard for passengers, said Snohomish County Sheriff’s Sgt. Phil Nichols, head of the agency’s transit police unit.
Last year, a firework caused a small fire at a park-and-ride lot.
In addition to fireworks, Community Transit does not allow the following items on buses:
* Fuels such as gasoline, diesel and propane, or containers that once carried these fuels.
* Hazardous chemicals.
* Explosives.
* Firearms, except when carried by law enforcement personnel.
