Besides the obvious reason of needing to look both ways on the tracks before proceeding, as well as listening for train at tracks that may be hard to see at, it is indeed a state law in every state in the union. This has saved many a bus driver and passenger from a deadly encounter with a locomotive.

Its a state law. Also, sometimes it gets loud on the bus. It also gives the driver more time to stop and ensure there is actually no train coming as he actually has to open the door and look out.

In case the bus gets hit by a train while crossing the tracks, the door would be in the open position so the survivors have a way of getting out of the bus.

The bus motive force is had to provide up on the railroad grade crossing, open the door to the bus, hear for any prepare noise, and look the two strategies earlier proceeding. it is to keep away from the potential for being struck by utilising a prepare. different autos, which includes tank vans wearing flammable drinks, additionally are required to provide up at railroad grade crossings.

They all want to be rail road engineers, they made it a law when one fellow felt confronted by his lost dream and accidentally stop without opening the door.

it allows them to be able to hear trains coming better. the whistle is more audible with the door and window open. this is also why they turn off the radio and ask kids to be quiet.

You wouldn't want to get hit by a train that you didn't see coming.
