Buster and Gus - The Talking School Bus Safety Team
"Buster the Bus"
Busteris a miniature remote controlled three foot tall cartoonish replica of a full size yellow school bus. Buster is equipped with a working stop sign, crossing gate, and flashing red lights. He works like a real bus!
Buster has unique features, which include a musically friendly voice that enchants children while he provides a very important message. He talks to the children about school bus safety.
The children clearly enjoy seeing this animated little bus. Buster can blink his eyes, turn on his flashing lights, and activate his swing out stop sign and walking arm.
Buster is a great symbol for our school bus safety program. He is the ideal size to teach children from PreK to 3rd grade. He can communicate with the children at their eye level, and when he moves the children love it. Buster is very agile and can easily maneuver in school classrooms or other restrictive areas.
When Buster makes an entrance, the children giggle and grin. However, Buster is all about teaching safety. His lessons include messages about:
· How to cross the road safely
· Staying out of the "Danger Zone"
· Riding the bus safely
· How to safely wait for the bus
· How to cross in front of the bus
· How to climb the steps
· How to ride the school bus to and from school
· How to evacuate the school bus
