  6. SCHEDULE: The bus will arrive outside the student’s home at a fixed hour, and will wait for a maximum of one minute before leaving and continuing its route.  Drivers will not beep their horn or ring the bell etc. to advise you of their arrival, so the student must be prepared and waiting for the bus every morning.
