Summary
This occupation involves assisting children and students commuting by school bus with boarding and alighting, ensuring safety, and responding to troubles or emergencies inside the vehicle.
Description
School bus attendants mainly ride along on elementary and junior high school commuter buses, assisting with children's boarding and alighting and conducting safety checks. They perform roll calls and seat checks before departure, and conduct in-vehicle patrols after departure, taking care to ensure children can use the service with peace of mind.
