Assist your child to become a safer bus traveller:
arrange for an adult to accompany your child to and from the bus stop
Ensure that your child understands how to cross the road after alighting from a bus, i.e. to:
WAIT on the footpath until the bus has driven away before choosing
the safest place to cross.
Most parents are concerned about the safety of their children
traveling to and from school. Because of this, many parents elect to
drive their children or have them driven by another adult. They
believe their children are safest in a private car. The fact is Buses
offer the safest form of school travel. Research carried out by the
University of Sydney in 1994, indicates that buses offer the safest
mode of transport to and from school.
The findings show that buses are:
7 times
safer than using the family car.
31 times
safer than walking to school.
228
times safer than cycling to school.
When parents were asked during the survey to rank school transport in
order of safety, the car received the biggest vote of confidence.
This is a very alarming misconception - especially if it leads
parents to deny their children the relative safety of the bus and
expose them to much greater danger in private cars. Your local bus
company is very aware of parents' concern with the safety of students
travelling to and from school.
