What is a Walking Bus?

Walking buses are the latest trend in school transportation for kids. There is a driver and a conductor in these walking buses and the driver is at the front of the bus who leads the walking bus. In a walking bus there is a group of school children and the route for these walking buses is set. As this group of children travels to school they pick up other passenger students on the bus stops. For the safety of the passengers in the walking buses they put on shiny reflective jackets. The walking buses are the ideal way for children to learn safety rules while walking on the road.

Not all walking buses are the same, the needs of the parents and the children are kept in mind in the walking buses. There could be many walking buses in a school or a single walking bus depending on the need of each school. There are certain days during which these buses operate while other buses run only in the morning or in the afternoon. The walking buses serve as a safe and healthy way of getting to the school. Safety is of paramount issue in these walking buses and each one involved with the buses wear fluorescent clothing so that they are visible to others on the road.
