  2. They should line up away from the road or street as the bus approaches.

  4. Make sure there are no object dangling from their bags which could get caught in any part of the vehicle.

  6. They must sit properly, facing forward at all times.
  7. Throwing objects inside or outside the bus is not permitted.
