What should you do if your bus breaks down?

Staying with the bus and calling for assistance is the safest and most appropriate course of action if your bus breaks down. Buses are often equipped with various safety features, including hazard lights, and remaining with the vehicle ensures your safety while waiting for help. It also helps in keeping the students safe and secure, as they should not be left unattended in a potentially hazardous situation.

Leaving the bus to walk to the nearest station poses risks, such as exposure to traffic and leaving children unsupervised. Attempting to fix the bus yourself could lead to injury, and may not be feasible if there are mechanical issues beyond simple troubleshooting. While waiting for assistance is part of the process, taking proactive steps to ensure help is on the way while remaining with the bus is critical for safety and efficiency.
