How to Be a Bus Legend

 

How to Be a Bus Legend 

Now that more and more pupils are catching the bus to get to and from school, here are some important reminders from our JTA's (Junior Travel Ambassadors), after spending some time with the MET Police. 

• Sit Right Near the Driver: If the bus is empty or it’s getting dark, sit downstairs right behind the driver. If someone is being mean or making you feel scared, DO NOT get off the bus in a random place. Stay right where you are near the driver because they can call for help on their radio and the bus has cameras everywhere!

• Show That Green Zip Card: Always have your Green Zip Card ready in your hand or a handy pocket before the bus even gets there. If you have forgot it, it is okay - just tell the driver and they will let you on. Never use someone elses.

• Don't Be a "Phone Zombie": It’s fun to play games or listen to music, but keep your phone tucked away in your bag or pocket when you don't need it. If you have headphones on, keep the volume low so you can still hear what’s going on around you. If you need to use your phone, check it by a wall or window.

• Know Your Stop: Before you even leave your house, tell someone and check when the bus is coming so you aren't standing around at the bus stop forever. Try to stand under the streetlights where people can see you!
