Several decades ago a bus full of kids broke down on rail road tracks. A train hit the bus killing all the kids and the driver. Had he opened the door as soon as he broke down and gotten the kids off they would have all lived. As a safety precaution, it was made a law that from then on, all public busses will stop just before rail road tracks, open the door, look and listen for trains.

To listen if any trains are coming just in case the bus is going to get stuck on the tracks for a short period of time.

to see if trains are coming down the track. It is mandatory for all transit systems to follow this rule, for public safety

They are obligated to let the ghosts of all the dumba$$e$ that didn't get off the tracks in time, ride the bus with YOU.
