  • My grandmother drove a school bus and they were instructed to stop at a crossing, open the front door and cross with the door open. Opening the door would allow the driver to see and hear an approaching train more redaly

  • jefferyb304: Yes, the door MUST be opened to allow the driver a greater opportunity to hear and see, but must NEVER be open once the bus is in motion. As soon as the driver determines it is safe to proceed, the door must be closed immediately.

  • jefferyb304: GOOD NEWS! Operation Life Saver has decided to get involved. They will reach out to the companies seen in the video to correct this problem. Another individual who takes my videos seriously and is committed to safety improvements, helped convince them to act.

  • last time i checked garbage trucks and fed ex dont have too stop

  • stuntedcards: The last time you checked what?

  • it also showed that a train travelling at 55 mph can take up to a mile to stop.

  • Well the first bus had obviously been stopped by the first train. Trains dont run within seconds of each other on one track. The bus shouldnt have to stop if a train has just gone by.

  • The buses that did not stop at the crosssing are unacceptable. However, what the heck was the matter with the buses from Helmet Public Schools???? They stopped! You can't tell from your angle if they opened their door or not. Since they did stop completely, it's probably safe to assume they did open the door. Are you upset about their distance from the tracks? It's possible they were a bit close, but that distance can be hard to judge. Show me the trigonometry that they're wrong.

  • hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yes,it should be closed while the bus is in motion. When I went to school down there,they crossed with it open. One driver I had did not open the door and probably did not stop.

    I also remember spotting bus drivers driving with the door open the whole route on hot days.
