Because it is a law that any public transportation vehicle has to stop and open there door at a railroad to listen and see if a train is coming. However this is not true for something like a taxi where the passengers are paying for the ride.

that's a regulation in each and every state ALL college buses would desire to end interior of 15 - 50 toes of the closest rail, and open the door. this permits the motive force to look in the two guidelines for a prepare, and to hearken to for the sounds of an coming near prepare.

To keep you and your little buddies from being hit by a train going upwards of 70 mph. By opening the door, it makes it easier to hear the train comming and to see a train comming if there is one comming.

SO, THE DRIVER CAN BREAK LOOSE IN CASE THE BUS STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACKS, WHEN A TRAIN IS ON IT'S WAY.

It is a Federal law. So that the bus driver has an unobstructed view. It is D.O.T. regulations for all buses.

So they can hear if a potential train is coming... and check to see if they see one in case the signals are not working.

Because it is required by law. It is deemed that they have a better view with the doors open.
