Lambeth Bus Days continue
to be a big success with over 750 pupils taking part this year
Bus Days are designed to give
children and young people with special needs (and other vulnerable potential
passengers) extra confidence to enable them to travel independently and to make
full use of London's bus network. The monthly sessions take place on a moving
red London double-decker bus and feature scenarios covering personal and road
safety. Passengers meet the driver and ticket inspectors, and have the chance
to practise coping with issues that could occur on the bus. The actors on
the bus are plain clothes police officers helping making scenarios more
realistic and we also deliver a road safety message.
