move it! Bus Safety
When you travel, make sure you do the following before you leave:
- Let an adult know where you plan to go and when you expect to be back.
- Carry identification with you-like your school ID or your library card.
- Bring a cell phone and take some extra change with you in case you need to call home.
- Sit up front near the driver.
More safety tips:
- Get there early. Buses don't stop once they leave a bus stop.
- Never attempt to board or exit a moving bus.
- Don't cross in front of or behind a bus at a bus stop.
- Allow passengers to exit the bus before you board.
- Use the handrails and handgrips inside the bus.
- In crowded buses, move to the back of the bus to make room for others.
- Stay clear of the doors.
- Keep your head, arms and objects inside bus windows.
- Allow the bus driver to secure wheelchairs.
- Hold onto the railing when exiting the bus.
- As you leave the bus, watch for cars.
Looking out for you
Some Metro buses are equipped with on-board security cameras that provide a complete view of the bus interior. Passenger activity is recorded to help ensure your safety.
Be a good partner
- Keep bus aisles clear.
- Reserve front "courtesy" seats for seniors and disabled passengers.
- No drinking or eating on the bus.
- No smoking on the bus.
- Listen to radio/CD/tape players with headphones.
