Arriva initiative to turn one bus into a classroom

Year six students to be taught about buses and bus ettiquete.

Arriva has launched a new initiative that will look to provide an entertaining and educational experience for year six children with a bus themed lesson held on board.

The School Bus activity is for primary schools at locations across the UK.

The Arriva School Bus will teach children about buses with fun facts and figures, games, and information about the environmental benefits of bus travel. They will also be instructed on how to use and behave on buses.

David Shadbolt, marketing manager UK Bus for Arriva, said: "Bus travel is something that captures the interest of children and we know from experience that many year six children will start to use the buses on their own for the first time once they leave primary school."

"Therefore we have created the School Bus which will provide a class with a fun, learning experience while communicating the benefits, and etiquette, of bus travel."
