Many kids ride the bus to school so it is important to know how to be safe on a bus. The most important way to be safe while riding on a bus is to always sit down in your seat. If you are standing up and the bus stops quickly, you could fall and get hurt. Another way to be safe when riding the bus is to always listen to your bus driver. He or she will tell you when it is safe to cross the street.
