School bus safety and travel expectations
There are a number of important travel expectations to keep students safe and to ensure an enjoyable and stress free trip to and from school.
You can read more here in regards to our COVID-19 response.
- Carry a valid ticket. Without it you could face a fine.
- Wear seat belts – it is the responsibility of the student to wear a seat belt where fitted on the bus.
- Responsible conduct in and around, and on the bus – Antisocial behaviour or threating/abusive behaviour will not be tolerated. Schools will be notified of any poor behaviour.
- Take care when crossing the road – Always cross from the rear once the bus has departed from the stop and you have clear vision of each direction of the road.
- Do not approach moving buses – stand well back from the road, and don’t push or shove whilst waiting. Never attempt to board a bus whilst it is still in motion.
- Stay behind safety barriers where installed – many schools have safety barriers installed to separate students and buses. Please stay behind safety barriers until buses have come to a complete stop.
- Whilst onboard – Sit down and hold on. Keep noise down as the driver has to concentrate on driving.
