Be at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before
the bus is scheduled to arrive.
When the bus approaches, stand at least 3 giant steps (6 feet) away from the edge of the road, and line up away from the street.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver
says that it is okay before stepping on the bus.
When crossing the street in front of the bus, walk on the
sidewalk or side of the road to a point at least 5 giant steps
(10 feet) ahead of the bus before you cross. Be sure the
bus driver can see you, and you can see the driver.
When exiting the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings
and book bags with straps do not get caught in the handrail or door.
Never walk behind the bus.
Walk at least three giant steps away from the side of the bus
any time you are walking beside the bus.
If you drop something near or under the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up. The driver may not see you and
begin to drive away.
