  Hints for Bus Passengers
  Getting on and off
  1. Always allow passengers to get off before you get on.
  2. Always wait until the bus has stopped at a recognised BUS STOP before getting on or off. It is particularly dangerous to get on or off when the bus is held up at traffic lights.
  3. When on the platform waiting to get off, hold on to the hand rails.
  Standing or walking in a moving bus
  1. Make full use of posts, rails and hand grips.
  2. Keep your feet apart to steady your balance.
  3. Make sure coats and belts are fastened, otherwise they may get caught.
  4. Hold a handbag or parcel firmly and close to your body.
  Going up or down stairs
  1. Do not pass on the stairs but wait for others to get clear.
  2. Use both hand rails. If you have only one hand available, for preference use the outer rail going up and the inner rail coming down, i.e. use the right hand.
  3. If you have children with you, send them up in front of you and come down in front of them.
  4. If you are wearing high heeled shoes, travel on the lower deck for preference. Accidents happen through heels catching on the stairs.
  After leaving the bus
  Wait for the bus to move off before crossing the road.
  General
  Look out for opportunities of assisting others, particularly the old and infirm, and people with young children.
