How to use Tork Region Transit?

I'm 14 years old and I know how to use the ttc. put 2 dollars in the box thing and if I need a transfer, I ask for one, but is it the same? Is there a button or yellow cord to pull? I'm moving and need help with it.|||I live in York Region(is that what you mean?) and yes, there is a cord and a stop request button for the buses.
