• Seat Reservations:  Monthly pass holders may make their reservations for seating on the morning and afternoon bus for which they have a pass, on a first-come, first-served basis. MAX reserves the right to change seat assignments on a temporary or permanent basis as needed. Monthly pass holders may also ride on a bus in which they do not have a reserved seat, on a space available basis. You may only reserve a seat on the bus for which you have a pass.  Only those riders purchasing a full month pass will be eligible for reserved seating.
  
• Morning Seating:  On the morning trips to Dublin, the first priority for boarding will be pass holders with reservations on that bus. Second priority is pass holders who have a reserved seat on the other morning bus. Non-pass holders board last, on a first-come, first-served basis, whether or not they are purchasing one-way or round trip tickets.
  
  Seats of pass holders who have not arrived five (5) minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave in the morning will be assumed to be vacant and available for use by non-pass holders. If the pass holder boards the bus within five (5) minutes of departure and their reserved seat has been taken, the pass holder will be allowed to sit in any unoccupied seat, or stand.
  
• Afternoon Seating:  On the afternoon return trips from Dublin, the first priority for seating will be pass holders with reservations on that bus followed by pass holders who have a reserved seat on the other afternoon bus. Passengers with round-trip tickets will be boarded next. One-way ticket purchasers will be required to wait to see if there are enough spaces (seats or standing room) to accommodate them on the bus before they are sold a ticket. Early arrival is not required on afternoon buses. MAX will not assume a pass holder will not be returning on the bus that evening because they did not ride the bus to the BART station in the morning. Therefore, there will always be room on the afternoon bus for pass holders even if they arrive late in the morning or only ride in the afternoon.
