Before the bus moves, what must all pupils do?

Before the bus moves, all pupils must be seated to ensure their safety and the safety of others. When students are seated, they are less likely to be injured if the bus moves suddenly or comes to an unexpected stop. Seating also minimizes distractions for the driver, allowing them to focus on the road and driving conditions.

This standard is a crucial safety measure on school buses, where the risk of injury is higher if students are not properly secured in their seats. Other behaviors such as standing in the aisle, loading bags, or talking to friends can increase the chance of accidents or distractions, making it imperative that all students are seated before the bus begins to move.
