A riding school bus is a group of schoolchildren supervised by one or more adults, riding pedal cycles along a set route, picking kids up at "bus stops" along the way until they all arrive at school. Riding school buses are similar to walking bus programs. Like a traditional bus, riding school buses (also known as RSBs) have a fixed route with designated "bus stops" and "pick up times" in which they pick up children. Ideally the riding school bus will include at least 1 adult ‘driver’, who leads the group, and an adult ‘conductor' who supervises from the end of the group. Riding school bus programs have been developed in a number of local councils in Victoria, Australia, including City of Moreland〔(TravelSmart - Riding School Bus program in Moreland )〕 and Shire of East Gippsland〔(East Gippsland Shire Council - RIDING SCHOOL BUSES BEGIN SERVICE )〕 Riding school bus programs deliver a number of benefits:〔(Avoid the schoolyard traffic jam - use the Riding School Bus instead!: Media Release 31 July 2006 - Moreland City Council )〕 *Improvement in child fitness and health *Environmental benefits - reduction in car trips and associated air pollution *Development of traffic skills and confidence in children *Socialization and increased community engagement for children *Reduction of traffic congestion around schools Riding school buses are also known as pedal pods〔(Holy Rosary's new Pedal Pod - Bicycle Victoria )〕 or Cycling School Buses ==See also== *Walking bus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riding school bus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
