If you cannot see your driver's face, your driver cannot see you. • Wait until all traffic has stopped in both directions before crossing the road. • Speak quietly and behave in an orderly manner on the bus so your driver can pay attention and drive the bus safely. • Keep your head, hands, and arms inside the bus. • Stay in your seat until the bus comes to a complete stop. • Pick up dropped objects when getting on the bus, tell the bus driver. Wait until the bus driver says that it is safe to pick it up. Remember, books and papers can be replaced-you cannot. • Before getting off the bus, be sure all belongings are in your bookbag, so you don't drop anything. • Always go straight home when you get off the bus.
