As with any mode of transportation, there are risks involved in regards to your safety. When it comes to riding a city bus, you can prevent accidents from happening even before you board the bus.
Here are a few safety tips that may help you avoid injuries and make your commute on the bus safer:
Boarding
• When you’re waiting for the bus to arrive, stay away from the curb and wait on the sidewalk instead.
• Never approach the bus until it has come to a complete stop.
• Make sure that children aren’t playing near the bus. Pushing and shoving can lead to a serious accident.
• When boarding, use the handrails. This will decrease the chance of you slipping and falling.
• If you’re using the bike rack, make sure to say in clear view of the bus operator at all times
Riding
• Once on the bus, use the handholds to get to your seat.
• If you must stand, stay behind the yellow line and never on the steps.
• Keep your arms, hands, legs, and head inside the bus at all times.
Leaving
• Prepare ahead of time to exit so you’re not rushing to get off the bus.
• Always try exiting through the rear doors, if possible.
• When getting off, use the handrails.
