EMERGENCY EXITS
In case of emergency, passengers can leave the bus quickly by any exit depending which
one is operational at the time it is needed.
Passenger door emergency exit:
To use the passenger entrance door emergency exit, simply pull on the red handle located
over the entrance door. Some busses will be equipped with additional interior and
exterior emergency handles.
If your bus is equipped with a locking emergency exit for the entrance door, it needs to be
unlocked because if it stays locked, the bus will not start. This is a vandal lock and if it is
not unlocked before picking up children, it will prevent the kids from being able to exit in
case of an emergency.
If one of the emergency handles has been used to exit the bus, follow these simple
instructions to close the doors. From inside the bus, push on the right side of the handle
with your left hand, and at the same time, pull slowly on the right leaf of the entrance
door towards you. When gear is in place, the lock will engage. You will then be able to
push the handle in place and use the switch in the console to open and close doors.
Other emergency exits:
Vehicles can also be equipped with a roof hatch and push out windows. Follow opening
instructions written on decals.
A rear door emergency exit is present on each bus. Simply lift the red handle bar to open
the door. **
An interlock may be installed
on this emergency door. Make sure it is
unlocked at all times while the bus is in use. If you forget to unlock the door, it will
prevent the bus from starting.
