    My School Bus driver shuts all of the windows manually and then checks the rear emergency door. The bus doors of my yellow school bus are closed manually by the school bus driver and then the school bus doors are locked using an android smart phone not a television or table top lamp remote. My yellow school bus has Wi-Fi and has seat belts. My yellow school bus also has radio speakers so that people can listen to the public school’s public address system over a google radio broadcast system similar to a public address system over the computer. My yellow school bus has a rear camera to help the school bus driver see a vehicle or student who is behind the school bus. The school bus driver has the authority and the ability to photograph vehicles who are behind the public school bus and are not visible in the side mirrors of the school bus. My yellow school bus is a 2017 model year Navistar school bus.

    The bus driver on my yellow school bus closes and locks the school bus door on my yellow school bus by one of two ways……either closing and locking the school bus doors using an android smart phone or by closing and locking the school bus doors using a voice activated command Alexus school bus door closing and bus door locking system. My yellow school bus is a 2018 model year Thomas School Bus. It is wonderful to have a twenty-first century school bus to ride to public school.

    I don’t know. I don’t travel to public school using a yellow school bus. I travel to public school using the municipal transit bus. I just show my photographed school identification card with a bar code at the municipal transit bus fare meter and the municipal transit bus fare meter records my attendance of having ridden the municipal transit bus to public school in Baltimore County Public School System located in Baltimore County, Maryland.

  5. Always lived within walking distance of public school and walked to school using the concrete sidewalks in town. Public School is never located outside the municipal incorporation limits of town and the public school is named after the town. // March 3, 2020 at 12:26 pm // Reply

    The Bus Driver exits the school bus by the rear emergency door and then locks the school bus when the bus is parked in the school bus storage parking area.

  6. Cool cats!

  7. Cool!

  8. the bus driver closes the door

  9. There’s a button under the bus. I think

  10. There’s a remote under the bus. I think

  11. as a former school bus mechanic, my guess is the mechanic that to walk the fleet to close all the bus windows that were left open. if it is a mechanical door, don’t close it all the way OR you’ll have to enter through the emergency exit. some doors are pneumatic or electric, and they have a key that will open/close them. when i left, we had 125 buses, but then they expanded the fleet to 250!

    Yeah the bus driver does

  14. Hello

  15. Why don’t they exit from the emergency exit in the back? That would make sure the door is working properly and they could check each seat on the way out to make sure no kid was accidently left on the bus.
