What must be done on a school bus when transporting non-students?

  1. Cover the crossover lights

  2. Cover the words "School Bus"

  3. It becomes a SPAB

  4. Both of the above

The correct answer is: Both of the above

When transporting non-students on a school bus, it is crucial to ensure that the bus does not give the appearance of being a regular school bus, as this can create confusion and safety concerns. Covering the crossover lights is necessary because these lights are intended to signal that the bus is picking up or dropping off students, which is not applicable when transporting non-students. Additionally, covering the words "School Bus" serves the same purpose, helping to avoid any misconceptions that the vehicle is being used for its primary function of student transportation. By doing both of these actions, the bus is essentially transformed into a type of vehicle that isn’t associated with school transport, legally classified as a School Pupil Activity Bus (SPAB), when used in the context of transporting non-students. This combination of actions is a safety measure and complies with regulations to ensure clarity regarding the bus’s use.
