Teaching Young Children About Public Transit
Today my son's kindergarten had a great field trip, and I was so glad I signed up to be a parent escort. We did take our local lightrail train to the site (an arboretum to do a nature walk/games) and I noticed that some of the kids really didn't seem familiar with simple public transit safety rules, like sitting on their bottoms or not treating the bars (ones designated for passengers to hold onto) like a jungle gym. My little group did fine; we had to stand on the return trip and we needed some reminders to hold onto the safety bars....
