What must you remember when passengers are boarding and alighting?

When passengers are boarding and alighting from a bus, it's crucial to follow specific safety protocols to ensure their safety and the smooth operation of the service.

1. You may only activate the enabling device of automatic doors after the bus has stopped: This rule is in place to prevent accidents that might occur if the bus moves while passengers are entering or exiting. Activating the doors before the bus is fully stationary can lead to serious injuries.

2. You must watch all directly operated doors: This is essential as it allows the driver or operator to monitor the situation around the doors and ensure that no passengers are in harm’s way while the doors are opening or closing.

Both points emphasize the importance of safety and awareness in public transport. Understanding and adhering to these rules helps prevent accidents and ensures that passengers can safely board and exit the vehicle. It is critical to be knowledgeable about these regulations to maintain safe operations.
