Passenger Endorsements

As a bus driver you have special responsibilities. You are not only responsible for the condition and safe operation of your vehicle, but also for the safety of your passengers.

Be prepared to anticipate careless or reckless actions by other drivers, pedestrians, and even your own passengers.
