  • Display the school bus sign when in use – To inform the nearby cars of the school bus.
  • Discourage speeding. – Bus drivers should know that there is no need to drive fast and endanger the lives of the children.
  • Seating Discipline – It is always good to make sure that students are properly seated. It is a key safety factor. We should ensure that passengers are resting fully within the 'safety compartment' of the seat - i.e., there no body parts extended into the gangway.
  • Children need to be seated immediately upon entering the bus. They should not stand or move from place to place while the bus is in motion.
  • Bus drivers should know that there is no need to speed and risk the lives of the children.
  • It is good to ensure that windows and doors are to be opened or closed only with the permission of the bus driver. If allowed, windows should only be opened to the indicated safety line.
  • There should be no indecent conduct or loud, disruptive or profane use of language.

It is always good to give tips to the drivers by their contractors, as it will help them to ensure safety measures both on & off the road. We can always change the wrong things. And it is our duty as a nation to provide better facilities to the future of this country.
