School Transportation

We embrace the paramount duty of providing secure and punctual transportation services. The welfare of our students throughout their journey is our utmost concern. To fulfil this commitment, TCS has meticulously crafted an array of safety measures, ensuring maximum security during their transportation. Let’s explore the safety protocols schools have put in place.

Established Rules and Procedures

Strict rules and procedures are in effect to promote safe conduct on school buses. Students are instructed to remain seated while the bus is in motion and prohibited from bringing any hazardous items onboard. These regulations prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of students throughout their bus rides.

Dedicated Bus Assistants

Each school bus is accompanied by a bus assistant who ensures student safety during transportation. Bus assistants assist students while boarding and disembarking, ensuring they remain seated throughout the journey. In emergencies, bus assistants are crucial in safely evacuating students from the bus.

Regular Bus Inspections

School buses undergo routine inspections to ensure they meet safety standards and are in optimal working condition. These inspections encompass all aspects of the bus, including brakes, tires, lights, and emergency equipment. Any identified defects are promptly addressed to guarantee student safety during transportation.

Seat Belt Implementation

School buses are equipped with seat belts, providing a vital safety feature to protect students in accidents. Wearing seat belts is mandatory for students while riding the bus, ensuring their safety throughout the journey.

Driver Training and Expertise

School bus drivers undergo specialised training to operate the vehicles safely and effectively handle emergencies. The comprehensive training encompasses safety regulations, driving techniques, and emergency procedures. Drivers must complete this rigorous training program before operating a school bus.

Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance checks are conducted on school buses to ensure proper and safe functioning. These checks identify and address any potential issues before they become hazards. Immediate action is taken to rectify any defects discovered during maintenance checks, ensuring that buses are safe for use.

Adherence to Traffic Safety Laws

School bus drivers are trained to strictly adhere to traffic safety laws and maintain a heightened awareness of their surroundings, especially during student boarding and alighting. Drivers are trained to exercise patience and caution while driving, prioritising the safety of students at all times.

Bus First Aid Preparedness

Every school bus has a comprehensive first aid kit, ready to provide immediate assistance and ensure student safety during transportation.

Expected Behaviour Standards

Students are provided with clear expectations regarding their behaviour while riding the bus. These standards include remaining seated while the bus is in motion, using a calm voice, and keeping hands and objects inside the bus. By adhering to these expectations, students contribute to a safe and accident-free bus environment.
