Role model: Schoolchildren waiting in queue at Nasiyanur main road to catch buses.
ERODE: These school children can teach elders a lesson or two on discipline.
Not only children, even adults too, scamper for seats in buses the moment they come at busstops.
Accidents
In the meele, children are pushed aside and sometimes even accidents occur.
Bus passes
The State Government has granted free travel bus passes to students from their home to the school.
More than one lakh students have availed of this scheme.
Complaints
But there are many complaints that some State Transport Corporation drivers do not stop buses in the assigned busstops near schools.
Many students, including girls, have to run after the buses with heavy school bags. But in Nasiyanure, a rural pocket in Erode taluk, an aided school Bharathi Vidyalaya Higher Secondary School has instructed its students to form a queue to board town buses.
The students and the teachers of the school strictly adhere to this directive.
The schoolchildren told The Hindu on Monday that “Because of this, we safely board the buses and reach home safely. Our dresses do not get damaged and we even use the same dress the next day.”
The crew members of buses said they too were happy.
