A bus that has an emergency exit door must keep that door:
Correct answer: Closed and secured whenever the bus is moving.
Answer options
- ABlocked so riders cannot open it by accident
- BWith its red door light switched on at all times
- CClosed and secured whenever the bus is moving Correct
- DFree of any signs, stickers, or markings
Why
An emergency exit door has to remain shut and latched whenever the bus is moving, so it cannot fly open on the road. A red emergency door light, if the bus has one, is turned on at night or whenever the outside lights are on, and the "EMERGENCY EXIT" sign must stay clearly visible.
