1. In an emergency that requires leaving the bus, you should ________.
✓ Evacuate passengers safely and keep them away from traffic and the bus
If you must evacuate, get passengers off the bus through the safest exits and move them away from traffic and the vehicle to a safe place. Keep them together and calm. A planned, orderly evacuation protects them.
2. The standee line on a bus marks ________.
✓ The point forward of which standing passengers must not stand
The standee line is a line on the floor (or a sign) showing how far forward standing passengers may be; no rider may stand ahead of it, which keeps them behind the driver and clear of the windshield and door. Don't let passengers stand forward of the standee line. It's a key passenger-management rule.
3. When driving a bus, you should take curves and turns:
✓ Slowly and smoothly so passengers aren't thrown off balance
Drive curves and turns slowly and smoothly, because standing or seated passengers can be thrown off balance or injured by sudden, forceful movements. Smooth driving keeps riders safe and comfortable. Anticipate turns and slow down early.
4. Before driving a bus, you must make sure it is ________.
✓ In safe operating condition before carrying any passengers
You must inspect the bus and confirm it is in safe condition before transporting passengers, checking both the normal vehicle items and the passenger-specific items. Carrying passengers in an unsafe bus is prohibited. The pre-trip inspection protects everyone aboard.
5. You should not refuel a bus with passengers aboard ________.
✓ Except in an emergency, and never in an enclosed building
Avoid fueling a bus while passengers are aboard except in an emergency, and never fuel it in a closed building with passengers inside, because of the fire risk. Have passengers off the bus when possible during fueling. This protects them from fuel fumes and fire.
