| When you're in a car... |
When you're walking... |
 |
Be careful when passing a stopped bus - passengers may be exiting and crossing the street. |
|
Always stop, look, and listen for buses before crossing the street - cross only at crosswalks and be sure to look both ways. |
|
Always obey all traffic signs and signals; drive carefully when sharing the road with a bus. |
|
Don't stand on the street or stand in front of a bus - the driver may not see you or be able to stop in time. |
|
Remember: buses can't stop as quickly as you can.
|
|
| If you're a kid... |
When you're catching a bus... |
|
Don't ever play, skate or ride your bike too closely to a bus or bus stop. |
|
Remember: Buses stop for customers standing at bus stops - you do not need to hail them. |
|
Only exit the bus through the front door. |
|
As a bus approaches, be sure you are standing away from the street - and never, ever try to catch a moving bus. |
|
Never walk in front of or behind a bus. |
|
|
Be safe and help others to be safe around DART buses. |
 |
|
Make sure that everyone in your family knows all these safety rules. |
| If you have children... |
|
Talk to them about buses - teach them the importance of riding them safely - "Stop, look and listen" is an important message for them to understand. |
|
Hold children's hands when crossing the street. |
|
|
Take a field trip, go exploring, schedule a time to show your children how to ride a bus. |
