Is the location important when you make a disruptive rider leave the bus?
Correct answer: Yes, the rider must not be put off anywhere that would be unsafe for that person.
Answer options
- AYes, the rider must not be put off anywhere that would be unsafe for that person Correct
- BNo, the driver may put the rider off right away, wherever the bus happens to be
- CNo, the rule is to remove such riders at whatever intersection comes next
Why
A driver is responsible for the safety of the rider being removed as well as everyone else on board, so the drop-off spot matters. Waiting for the next regular stop or a lighted place where other people are present is often the safer choice.
