Questions kids ask
- Why wait back from the curb?
- It keeps you clear of the bus's mirrors and blind spots as it pulls in close to stop.
- Why let people exit before you board?
- It keeps the doorway clear, so nobody gets squeezed or trips in the crowd.
- Why hold on while walking down the aisle?
- A moving bus can brake suddenly, and holding on keeps you from losing your balance.
