BUS SAFETY:

When you're in a car...

- Be careful when passing a stopped bus - passengers may be exiting and crossing the street. .
- Always obey all traffic signs and signals; drive carefully when sharing the road with a bus.
- Remember: buses can't stop as quickly as you can.

When you're walking...

- Always stop, look, and listen for buses before crossing the street - cross only at crosswalks and be sure to look both ways
- Don't stand on the street or stand in front of a bus - the driver may not see you or be able to stop in time.

When you are catching a bus...

- Remember: Buses stop for customers standing at bus stops - you do not need to hail them.
- Only exit the bus through the front door.
- As a bus approaches, be sure you are standing away from the street - and never, ever try to catch a moving bus.
