Travel safely with these tips:
- At the bus stop, stand at least five feet away from the curb until the bus comes to a complete stop
- Cross at intersections where possible and obey all traffic signals
- Always be aware of traffic
- Make yourself visible, especially at night
- Don't run out into traffic to catch a bus
- Take off your headphones when you cross the street--you need your ears as well as your eyes
- Don't cross the street in front or behind the bus when it is stopped--there's no yellow safety arm stopping traffic!
- Carry your bag or knapsack in front of you when you get on or off the bus--you wouldn't want to get stuck in the doors when the bus takes off!
- Ride inside the bus--don't stick your arms or head out the window
- Once you're on the bus, stay clear of the doors
- If you're standing on the bus, hold onto the rail to avoid falling and hurting yourself (or someone else)
- The bus will wait while everyone gets on or off--don't push when entering or exiting
- Leave the bus by the rear door
