Tranzit helping kids stay safe around buses.
Tranzit staff have been out on Masterton roads recently in various locations with signs to remind motorists to pass stationary school buses at 20km/ph.
As an experienced school transport provider, Tranzit leads school bus operations around the North Island in both rural and urban areas. These are either Ministry of Education contracts, SESTA (Specialised School Transport Assistant for children with mobility needs) or direct contracts with the schools.
Other road safety reminders include:
When driving past a stationary school bus the speed limit is 20kmph either direction
When driving through a school zone, the speed limit is 40kmph;
When driving behind a school bus please note they must come to a complete stop at an uncontrolled railway crossing – so be prepared to stop too;
All school buses carrying passengers must slow down and be prepared to stop at a controlled railway crossing, so please watch your travelling distance and be prepared to stop too;
Passengers will load and unload from the front door of a bus, so please pass with caution at the correct speed of 20kmph.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
