What to Do When You Find Something Left Behind On Your Bus

If you run a business that transports hundreds of passengers every month, it’s highly probable you’re going to have to deal with some forgotten and lost items. Rather than dealing with each on a case-by-case basis, setting up a lost and found process is crucial to maintaining a trustworthy and cost-effective operation. 

At BusRates, we’re here to support your operation and provide access to an unrivaled selection of potential clients. We can help you improve your visibility and ensure you have the peace of mind you deserve in high-quality business volume. 

Why Should You Create a Lost and Found? 

People often leave their phones behind on a seat or can be left without important medication after it accidentally falls out of their bag. While you’re never responsible for keeping track of items left on a bus, creating a lost and found system can go a long way to securing repeat customers. 

A lost and found system doesn’t have to be a complex system and can be as simple as having a place to store forgotten items in a branch office or within your headquarters. You can post signage around each bus or on your website to ensure riders understand how to gain assistance if they ever lose a personal item. Following these simple steps will allow you to reap various rewards, such as: 

• Optimized return procedures: A lost and found for your bus service will decrease the time and effort required when returning misplaced items to designated riders. 
• Increased customer satisfaction: With a designated path to item recovery, your customers will enjoy a more pleasant experience riding with your operators. 
• Eliminated operator confusion: Setting up a consistent lost and found process ensures your team understands how to deal with lost items effectively. 

Developing a sound lost and found process is one of the best things you can do to show your customers that you care.
