It is very important for the driver not to deviate from the schedule, so that at the age of 23 the children are at the place of lodging or at the final destination. Departure from the schedule is allowed only in emergency cases.

During sightseeing trips lasting more than 12 hours on the bus there must be two drivers who replace each other. In total, a long trip should not exceed 16 hours a day. Every 8 hours the column should stop, and the driver should fully rest in the hotel or in another place.

The rules for the transportation of children on buses provide for the escort of an official and a medical officer in the event that the time for long-distance relocation exceeds 3 hours. The medical worker rides in the last bus of the column.

A very important rule is the presence of accompanying persons. Each bus should have as many accompanying adults as there are doors in the bus. Everyone is watching the exit from the bus. At the same time, a manager is appointed who oversees the actions of the driver and the escort team, as well as the one who monitors the behavior of the children (supervisor).

If the planned route lasts more than 3 hours, it is necessary to provide for the presence of dry rations and water in plastic bottles. All products must be approved by Rospotrebnadzor, as evidenced by a certain document (permission), not only for the transportation of rations, but also proving the quality and safety of the products.

One of the requirements for the head of transportation is a preliminary inspection of the roads by a specially appointed commission, which after leaving the place and studying the route will have to draw up an inspection report. Usually it happens before mass departure of children in sanatoriums and camps.

Not later than 3 days before the transportation, this act is submitted for consideration to the bodies of the State traffic inspectorate. It should reflect the exact date, time of departure and route of the bus. Also, possible stop and rest places and traffic patterns, on which the dangerous places of the route are marked, should be indicated. The certificate notes medical posts, hospitals, DPS posts and so on.

The main event organizer must provide a timetable for the route and calculate the time of transportation from one intermediate stop to the other. It is also important to indicate an approximate time for rest and meals for children during the trip.
