How should you stand while waiting to board the bus?
Answer. Answer: Stand in a proper queue to board the bus.
Place your feet at least a foot apart from each other, in the shape of a “T.” Aim the toes of whichever foot is closest to the front of the bus in that direction. Keep your rear foot perpendicular to the direction of travel. Keep your feet and legs active.
To avoid injury from flying objects, choose a seat lower down on the bus and away from open areas.
Don't pack anything smelly
Pack nothing that has a strong smell. It is imperative to be considerate towards fellow passengers and thus advisable to carry regular chips or cookies that do not have any odour. Another important suggestion is to avoid loud, messy food items like poppadum and pickles.
Stand in a proper queue to board the bus. Never run after your bus once it leaves. Do not run towards/ approach the bus until the bus stops and the conductor opens the door. Never go under/ behind the bus, if any thing gets dropped out of the bus.
Stay seated and sit quietly when you are in the bus. Use the handrail when getting off the bus. Always stay away from the rear wheels of the bus. Wait for the bus to stop completely and then get up from the seat.
- Never stand in groups or push anyone.
- Stand in a queue and board the bus.
Try placing one foot slightly in front of the other and make small shifts back and forth between the two feet. Again, try not to sink down. Up on the toes - Standing in line can be tiring and maybe you don't feel like you have the energy to stand up taller...so literally make yourself taller for a moment.
When at the school bus stop, students should not stand next to the roadway. Students should stand away from the road until the school bus has come to a complete stop, the bus has activated the traffic control devices, and the driver has motioned the students to board the bus.
While waiting for a bus, it is most polite to form a line. When the bus arrives at the stop, everyone can then board the bus in an orderly fashion without pushing or shoving to get on. It is not acceptable to arrive late and join friends at the front of the line to board the bus ahead of others who were waiting.
What is the safest position in a bus?
To find the safest seat on a bus, head for the middle. Choose a row as centrally located as possible and sit on the aisle, choosing the side of the bus farthest from opposing traffic. In America, this means sitting on an aisle seat on the right-hand side of the bus.
Riding the Bus
Please stay seated, or maintain your handholds when standing, until the bus comes to a complete stop. Be prepared for the bus to stop abruptly. Please don't distract the driver while the bus is in motion. Feel free to ask your driver questions when the bus is not in motion.
Public Transportation Etiquette
Offer your seat to elderly or disabled passengers. If the train or bus is crowded, make sure you leave room for people to move around you. Avoid using the phone as much as possible. If you do talk on the phone, try to keep conversations brief and speak quietly.
The safest seat on a bus is in the middle (aisle seats), between the two front tires. This is because it is the most protected from potential accidents. After finding out from the bus carrier how the seats are located on the bus, try to give preference to seats installed near the aisle.
Standing on the upper deck will cause the top deck of the bus to be heavier than the bottom deck. The centre of gravity will rise and the bus will lose its stability. When it makes a turn, the top deck will probably cause the whole bus to tilt dangerously (and fall, in the worst scenario).
Yes please provide a clear signal to the driver. We suggest raising your arm to indicate this.

Sit straight up in the bus seat, the way it is designed with your feet down and your head up. There may be a lack of back support but you can use your pillow or scarf to help you get more comfortable. Curl up to sleep. Recline the bus seat as far as you can and curl up on your side.
Stay away from the back of the bus on the bottom deck and from anyone with a takeaway. Priority seats on the bottom deck are best. Second best is the top deck, three rows from the front, on the aisle seat.
How do you signal to stop a bus?
GET OFF AT YOUR STOP
Signal the driver you want to get off the bus about one block before you reach your stop. Depending on the type of bus you're riding, you can signal the driver by one of the following methods: Pulling the cord that runs above the windows. Pressing the yellow strip to the side of the windows.
A front seat will mean you're first off the coach when you stop for a rest break or when you get to your destination. Not only that, but a seat at the front offers fantastic forward-facing views and, for many, sitting at the front can save them from any feelings of travel sickness.
Sit Closer to the Front of the Bus
The best place to sit on a bus to avoid motion sickness is the front of the bus, directly behind the driver. The front area of the bus is much more stable, meaning there will be less motion information coming to your brain.
Standing on the upper deck will cause the top deck of the bus to be heavier than the bottom deck. The centre of gravity will rise and the bus will lose its stability. When it makes a turn, the top deck will probably cause the whole bus to tilt dangerously (and fall, in the worst scenario).
