Advice for mums and dads
Meeting your children at the bus stop is wise but please wait for them on the same side of the road as the bus stop. Parking opposite is dangerous! Your children may be anxious to see you after school and they are likely to run across the road to meet you. Cross the road with them. Please give the bus a lot of room to get in an out of its stop, don't park in the bus stop area.
In case of an emergency
Accidents are extremely rare, but if one does happen, here's what you do:
- Follow the instructions of your driver who has been trained to deal with these situations.
- Do not move an injured person unless it is absolutely necessary. Moving them could cause further injury.
- If required, contact emergency services – police, ambulance or fire brigade – answer their questions.
- If the driver is injured, leave the bus by the nearest safe exit.
- Organise a "head count" to see is anybody is missing.
