Take the bus safely

Safety tips for walking to and from the bus stop:

1. Cross the street only at intersections.

2. Always look both ways and make sure motorists see you before you cross.

3. If walking on a street without sidewalks, walk facing oncoming traffic (generally the left side of the road).

4. Don't fall prey to the modern ill of distracted walking! Instead, enjoy your walk screen- and headphone-free.
