Altensteiger student team: Nine new bus attendants for more safety!
A strong team is now ready for action: nine newly trained bus attendants from the Werkrealschule Altensteig have been officially appointed to their positions. This step was particularly important because the installation had to be postponed due to a school trip. On July 9, 2025, the time had come - during the second period of school, the students received their neon yellow vests and ID cards that identify them as bus attendants. This is reported by the Black Forest messenger.
With this addition, a total of 33 bus attendants now belong to the team, including 24 committed students from secondary school and high school. Thomas May, the principal of the Altensteiger Werkrealschule, not only praised the students' commitment, but was also pleased with the lively participation in the training. This took place in the Citizens' Hall of the town hall and was obviously a complete success.
Tasks and responsibilities of the bus attendants
The future bus attendants have taken on a responsible task. Their main goal is to ensure the safety of younger students during bus transport and to prevent accidents on the way to school. Their tasks include reducing pushing and shoving at stops and actively helping bus drivers. They help ensure that all passengers sit safely and hold on when the vehicle is in motion. This is shown in an overview on the website Traffic Watch explained in detail.
In addition, the bus attendants have the task of actively avoiding conflicts and promoting respectful cooperation. They should be role models and encourage other students to adhere to the general rules of behavior on school buses, such as standing in the back and placing the school bag on their lap. Your goal is to make the journey a relaxed and safe affair for all passengers.
A voluntary, valuable effort
The role of bus attendants contributes significantly to school pedagogy as the students take on responsibility and show social commitment. As the BAS project page shows, this commitment is not only crucial for safety in school transport, but also promotes the social skills of the students and their teamwork. In times when safe routes to school are of great importance, the cooperation of these young people is particularly valued.
Overall, we can look forward to a committed and active year with the new bus attendants who are committed to ensuring that the journey to school remains safe for everyone!
