Remind them that playing about at bus stops and on buses can cause accidents and injuries. Make sure your children do not wear clothing that could be dangerous, e.g. hanging belts or bags with loose straps, and that rucksacks are carried and not worn on the bus. Make sure they understand the pupils' section in this booklet. Notify the County Council's Public Transport Unit of any changes to your circumstances. If your bus pass is no longer required, please return it to the Public Transport Unit so that the County Council can obtain a refund from the bus company.
Bus passes are valuable.
You will have to pay for replacements. Lost passes should be reported immediately to the School who will advise you how to obtain a replacement. If you have any concerns about school transport, you should contact either the Headteacher if it relates to discipline, the Area Education Office if it relates to entitlement for free travel or the Public Transport Unit about any other matter. Ensure pupils understand the consequences of misbehaviour on buses and at bus stops. Work closely with bus operators, drivers, County Council staff and parents and co-operate fully to resolve problems caused by bad behaviour.
